PROMOTING DIVERSITY IN THE COURTS: EIGHTH JD EXECUTIVE TASHA MOORE In this Veterans Day episode of Diversity Dialogues, a production of the New York State Unified Court System’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, we explore leadership, service and camaraderie from the perspective of a woman who followed an unlikely path to become an Army medic, treating Wounded Warriors during Operation Desert Storm, and then an equally unlikely path to become the first Black woman ever to serve as Deputy District Executive and now District Executive in the Eighth Judicial District. Ms. Moore discusses her journey, the influence of Buffalo area role models such as judges Wilbur Trammell, Samuel Green, Rose Sconiers, Shirley Troutman, Jeanette Ogden and Kevin Carter, and her commitment to lifting the next generation. “It's very important that to the best of my ability, I make myself available to anyone who wants to speak to me, who I'm able to assist in moving forward, to the youth who come after us,” Ms. Moore said. “Every one of us has someone who was behind us, who has made it easier for us to get where we're going. And it is due to their hard work, their sacrifice, their willingness to lift as you climb.” Podcast: https://lnkd.in/eFGccsPY Transcript: https://lnkd.in/eABysF9x #VeteransDay #DiversityDialogues #WoundedWarriors #WomenInLeadership #BuffaloNY #ArmyMedic #Empowerment #DiversityAndInclusion #LeadershipJourney #RoleModels
