Choose to Challenge - Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Black History Month is not just remembrance. It is responsibility.
It is a sacred pause to honor the giants who crossed our path…
the voices that thundered before we ever stepped to a microphone…
the shoulders we stand on every time we speak truth, lead boldly, and challenge systems.

On Monday, February 16, 2026 at 6PM ET, join Choose to Challenge with host LaWanna Bradford and visionary leader Gloria Toney-Fleets for a replay of a deeply personal and powerful conversation of reflection.

This is not a history lesson. This is lived history.
LaWanna and Gloria will share their personal encounters and insights from meeting some of the iconic architects of the Civil Rights Movement — including:
C.T. Vivian
Joseph Lowery
Coretta Scott King
Jesse Hill Jr.
Jesse Jackson

These were not just public figures.
They were moral compasses. Strategic minds. Courage embodied.
And in this conversation, you will hear the rest of the story — the wisdom behind the headlines, the humanity behind the history, and the leadership lessons that are still urgently relevant today.
