Chris has a strong base dealing with issues concerning race relations as he had to deal with similar issues growing up in a marginalized community in Kentucky. He was a part of a task force to deal with those issues in the small Kentucky town that he grew up in. Unbeknownst to him, this was the first of many steps into educating and empowering others as it pertains to diversity and inclusion.
