Racial Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

A Seat at the Table

I believe in the power of collaborative wisdom.

Dr. Raquel Munarriz Diaz, EdD, is a ZERO TO THREE Fellow and the Senior Partnership Manager for the University of Florida Lastinger Center. Dr. Diaz’s Latin roots have shaped her perspective on not only having a seat at the table but also inviting others to join in having a seat at the table once she’s there and giving everyone a voice. It’s this ethos that drives her desire to empower the early childhood workforce through intentional communities of practice.
