Suzette Walden Cole, Ph.D. | Co-Founder and Team Lead |

Dr. Suzette Walden Cole (she/her) is an equity, inclusion, and diversity (EID) speaker, and consultant through her company Social Responsibility Speaks, LLC. Dr. Suzette believes everyone has a social responsibility to care for one another, work towards a more just society, and endeavor to educate others to do the same. Dr. Suzette infuses the art of story-telling with research-based content to tackle the foundational concepts of EID. She believes that what is learned can be unlearned, and that caring conversations allow growth. She takes a direct approach in tackling tough topics. One of her signature phrases is “sugar-coated feces is still feces; the sugar doesn’t change the smell or the taste”. Dr. Suzette believes wholeheartedly that every human has the freedom to make choices while recognizing that they are not free from the
consequences of those choices.
