SPC President Dr. Tonjua Williams launches podcast to celebrate Women’s History Month

On March 19, St. Petersburg College’s President Dr. Tonjua Williams will launch a new podcast — “Standing in the Gap” — featuring thought leaders who foster positive change in education and beyond.

The podcast will provide individuals from diverse backgrounds, including corporate executives, students, faculty and community leaders, the opportunity to come together and explore the impact of supporting others by “standing in the gap.”

“Many people in our community have opened doors for me and shown me things that I would have never had a chance to see, and they don’t all look like me,” says Williams. “So, for me, it’s past time for me to stand in the gap. I feel it is time for us to understand who the movers and shakers are in our community and who is helping us make transformative change.”

As part of Women’s History Month, the show’s first guest is Dr. Kanika Tomalin, president and chief executive officer of the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg.
