BRINGING
DIVERSITY TO THE BOARDROOM
KEIANA BARRET 40|WWW.BACEMAGAZINE.COM
It’s not easy being the first of anything. As the first Director of Diversity and Strategic Development at Sterling Bay, Keiana Barret sure has her work cut out for her. I had a chat with her about her passion for diversity and how she thrives in a primarily homogenous industry.
Before working at Sterling Bay, Keiana had over 20 years of experience in the DEIA sector. Her first exposure was at Rainbow Push Coalition under the tutelage of Rev. Jesse Jackson. TThis had a huge impact on her and made her want to ensure that “the despair that many of us (in the African- American community) face is not the period to our sentence. It’s simply a comma that this is followed by some triumphant opportunities.”
