Reality Show Villains with Meredith Davis

Get ready to be voted off the island or out of the house as we talk Reality Show Villains with our friend and return guest, Dr. Meredith Davis. We discuss people we love to hate, what makes a good villain, and if some of the people portrayed as villainous are not as bad as the shows would want you to believe. It's a good one!

Meredith Davis is a solution focused leader that possesses three decades of experience in non-profit, higher education administration and teaching. Davis' focus areas are equity, access, diversity, inclusion, crisis management, leadership development, training and strategic planning. Her educational and pastime expertise is Blackness and the intersections of historical and popular culture. With a degree in sociology, she is obsessed with culture. Her favorite saying is, "If you are willing to do it, I am willing to watch."

You can find her on Instagram or on her YouTube channel!
