Today, I’m excited to have a remarkable guest, Dexter McCoy - County Commissioner-elect, Fort Bend County, Texas. Dexter is an experienced policy professional and a passionate advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Growing up, Dexter experienced life in a resource-deficient environment. On moving to Fort Bend, he saw the stark contrast in resources and this motivated him to be a voice for those who may not feel they have a seat at the table, advocating for decisions that benefit the greater community. He is a firm believer that each of us plays a role in changing the world around us and this is evident in his journey from serving in the educational sector to pioneering reformation in the public sector.
