In this article written for Business Publications' Greater, Daniel Hoffman-Zinnel reflects on his own experiences, the people who influenced him, and how he intends to use his privilege and power for good.
In the article, he states:
"Mr. Rogers and Justice Cady have taught me so much and inspire me to be a better person. As the leader of Proteus, I am committed to listening, putting in the labor to continue educating myself, and using my privilege and power for good. I look forward to doing this at Proteus and across our broader community. White leaders must balance doing the work without looking for praise or recognition while making it known to others where we stand."
