Speakers:

Tonya Ladipo, LCSW: CEO, The Ladipo Group 

Tonya is a Philadelphia Business Journal 2022 Diversity in Business Awardee. She worked for

many years in community mental health agencies, and soon realized that a one-size-fits-all

approach often ignored the needs of Black and African-American people. Institutionalized

racism, a lack of diversity, and a failure of cultural awareness all conspired to mean that people

of color often received poor treatment. Tonya is on a mission to change that.
