How the Beaufort Digital Corridor is working to bolster startups and possibly the future of Beaufort’s economy itself

By Mindy Lucas

On a recent Thursday night in downtown Beaufort, a few dozen people gather in a brightly lit, modern office space to talk shop. 

Over drinks and appetizers of sushi and steamed dumplings they talk about what they’re working on, who might be someone to connect with and, most important of all, how they can get their product or idea off the ground.

Indivisible Beaufort will take a look at racial diversity at its Dec. 7 meeting with Dr. Gloria Holmes.

Holmes, who is an adjunct at USC Beaufort’s Department of Education, will speak on the topic of “White Privilege.” 

Holmes is author of a monthly column “Diversity 101” in Hilton Head Monthly and author of Justice in Search of Leaders, A Handbook for Equity-Driven School Leadership.

Professor emerita at the School of Education at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT. 

Holmes has taught graduate courses in education and English and as well as middle school English classes. 

Dr. Holmes has a doctorate in English and her graduate research focused on American literature with a concentration on African American women writers. Her doctoral dissertation honored the work of novelist, Zora Neale Hurston, the Black Church, and the Blues. 

Committed to promoting cultural literacy in schools, she has also worked as a diversity trainer for the Anti-Defamation League and for the Connecticut State Department of Education. She also conducted anti-bias workshops for public school teachers and school leaders in CT.

 The meeting will take place at 11:30 am in the Scott Street Library, Beaufort.

How to Be Happy

Dear Aunt Bossy,

There are so many angry and unhappy people around. I don’t remember it ever being this bad. What do you think has caused this and what can we do about it?
