From Hilltop to Leadership: Besa Gordon’s Profiles in Black Leadership Spotlights Megan Matthews on Good Day Seattle

Besa Gordon joined Good Day Seattle with Erin Mayovsky to talk about the newest Profiles in Black Leadership on Back2Besa. This week highlights Megan Matthews, Director of Washington State’s Office of Equity. As Besa put it: “I love a good started-from-the-bottom story. Megan is from Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood, started out in an entry-level position, and now she’s a director making a difference for all Washingtonians.”

She also emphasized the impact of the Office of Equity: “If the system is not working for everyone, if it’s not fair, they’re changing it, removing it, or adding in something different.”

Besa wrapped by teasing more on Back2Besa — from the Seattle Waterfront Park grand opening to NAAM’s History Lives Here exhibit (and of course, food). Watch Back2Besa on FOX 13 Seattle Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. and FOX 13+ Sundays at 10 a.m.
