As an educational leader and mentor, Dr. Helen Benjamin tells stories about
growing up in the segregated South, living and working in two worlds—Black
and White, and helping younger Black professionals navigate their CEO roles
in community colleges. In semi-retirement, Helen leads HSV Consulting, Inc,
works with “dozens of colleges, boards, and CEOs to advance student-
centered organizational and leadership improvement,” and continues writing
to preserve African American history. Helen finds that at age 74 she is in
“the best place I’ve ever been in my life—smarter, wiser, thriftier, and more
relaxed.”
No one can tell the story of our lived experience better than
we can.
