Meet the Team
Dr. Donna-Lee Granville
Organizer & Curator
Dr. Donna-Lee Granville is a sociologist that studies and teaches about pop culture, race and ethnicity, and immigration. “I love being in the classroom, interacting with students of all backgrounds, and engaging with challenging topics of contemporary significance. I had a chat with a TEDx organizer and friend about my neighborhood while she was in town visiting. Her response to my observations and questions: You should plan a TEDx conference. Started from that convo, now we’re here.”
