“One of the things just for me personally: The ability to maintain my joy is recognizing that everything is not a crisis.” - Tommi Vincent

 

Welcome to Stay a While with Tommi Vincent! It’s always so hard to remain joyful and optimistic when life gets so difficult and when it seems nothing is going our way. Now more than ever, especially since the pandemic is still ongoing and everything seems hanging in the air, finding ways to stay grounded and joyful is more important than they’ve ever been. And understanding exactly where our joy comes from is paramount.

 

In this episode, Diahann Billings-Burford shares how she remains rooted and joyous even in the hard times and how looking within is often the best answer to life’s hard questions. Diahann is a nationally recognized change agent. As the Chief Executive Officer of the RISE (Ross Initiative on Sports Equality), the nation’s leading sports organization improving race relations and fighting for social justice, she consistently directs her efforts to engage the sports industry to affect change.
