LEAP Session: Lancaster County’s Racial Equity Profile- Where Are We?
Dr. Amber M. Sessoms is the Founder and Chief Visionary Officer (CVO) of Natural Inclination LLC, where she supports courageous leaders in cultivating liberatory spaces for individuals to be their full, authentic selves. Through a strengths-based approach, Amber invites her learners to (re)discover their natural inclinations by utilizing her 3D Power Tools framework to guide participants on a self-awareness journey to (re)examine the narratives that tell us our differences are bad or undesirable, thereby leading us to betray ourselves and others. To facilitate dignity-affirming spaces, she intentionally centers the voices of historically devalued children, caretakers, educators, and communities by inviting all learners to write a new story centered on belonging, truth, and healing.
Amber is a nationally certified school psychologist and a doctorate-level adult educator, who has over 20 years of experience within the educational and mental health sectors. In 2020, she became the first person of color to be awarded Pennsylvania School Psychologist of the Year by the Association of School Psychologists of Pennsylvania. She is now the first person of color to lead this organization as President. Amber also serves on the Board of Trustees for Millersville University, as well as vice-chair of Diversity Inclusion Professionals of Central Pennsylvania; and co-director of Pennsylvania’s Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Taskforce, in partnership with the Department of Education.
