Shawna Gann hails from Anchorage, Alaska but has lived and traveled around the world. Her nearly 15 years living abroad has contributed to her cultural awareness and passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Shawna taught elementary school for most of these years abroad, but her contributions to administration and educator growth eventually led to her doctoral studies in Business Psychology.
Her continued passionate support of DEI in organizations was the catalyst for her dissertation topic, understanding the experiences of racially ambiguous women striving for leadership, and the inspiration for Our True Colors.
Shawna lives with her family in the DC metro area and currently works as a consultant at a firm in Northern Virginia.
