Kerk Brown

The simple idea that each of us must actively do our part for society to improve is what compels me to do racial equity and social justice work. Recent history has shown me that much work remains to realize the world I would like to leave for my multi-racial, multi-cultured son. That world is where we’re genuinely judged by our character and can be our authentic selves. I am deeply committed to eliminating the practices, mindsets, and policies that hinder anyone from reaching their full potential. This undertaking is not a sprint but a marathon, and I aim to encourage and empower others to join me in this endeavor.

Kerk Brown is Vice President of Human Resources at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
