Redesigning Power from the Inside Out | Derrick Wheeler-Smith

Derrick Wheeler-Smith, Director of the Seattle Office for Civil Rights, joins Elite Insights for a deep conversation on leadership, systems design, and institutional accountability.

This episode explores:

• Why 70% of leadership is leadership of self

• How systems are intentionally designed — and can be redesigned

• Institutionalizing racial equity through law

• Youth civic engagement as real governance
