In our current environment, individuals can no longer remain silent about the social issues that challenge our communities, nation and world. Silence is indeed complicity. As the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., stated, “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” In this conversation, Derek Hubbard tells us how he found his own voice and created the Instagram show “Community Conversations.” where he and his guests engage in civil discourse to address challenging contemporary issues. Derek is Manager of External Communications and a Spokesperson for Southwest Airlines. A native and resident of Dallas, Texas, Derek was recognized in 2017 by PR News as a 30 and Under Rising PR Star.
