Adventist Peace Radio, Episode 88: Claudia Allen & Discernment

Claudia Allen discusses discernment, specifically how she decided to move from academia into public service, while still drawing on the same values and passion that had been fueling her academic journey.

Claudia M. Allen is an internationally acclaimed speaker and human rights advocate, who is passionate about creating equitable environments through communication, public policy and transformed thinking.

After receiving her Masters of Arts in English from Georgetown University, she immersed herself in research, teaching and assistance with curriculum development in literature, writing and social change at the University of Maryland, College Park. However, feeling global change could be made, she shifted to the public sector.

Seamlessly merging her speaking skills with her desire to further racial justice and religious freedom, Claudia found herself in front of audiences all over the United States, South Africa, Australia, and Ireland, and yes also right here on the Adventist Peace Radio podcast. A champion of education and training, she holds certificates from Harvard University and Howard University School of Divinity, garnering knowledge in her chosen field.

Currently, Claudia serves as the Community Outreach Supervisor for the Howard County Office of Human Rights & Equity in Columbia, MD, rightfully positioning herself as a visionary and an agent of change.
