From Housing Advocate to Change Catalyst: A Conversation with Dr. Tiffany Manuel

In our latest episode of [Re]Builders, we spoke with the incredible Dr. Tiffany Manuel. She is the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Chair of Rebuilding Together's national board of directors, President and CEO of TheCaseMade, and author of 'CaseMade! 10 Powerful Leadership Principles that Win Hearts, Change Minds, and Grow Impact.' Known as Dr. T, she brings a powerhouse of insights and expertise to the table, with over 20 years of experience in the housing field.

Dr. T shares her journey with Rebuilding Together, revealing how a national staff member initially reached out to invite her onto the board five years ago, though she initially declined.
