Audrey Peeples, age 81, from Chicago’s southwest side, is a history maker–the first Blackwoman to hold leadership positions in different kinds of organizations. Whether as CEO, board member, or community volunteer, Audrey is committed to raising awareness about racism and sexism and advocating for diversity and inclusion. “When different people are at the table, different decisions get made.” She calls out micro-systemic expectations with diplomacy and humor. Audrey intends to keep raising the hard questions and doing the hard work.
“There are a lot of people like me, you just don’t know them.” – Audrey Peeples
