We are excited to welcome celebrated actor and writer Delroy Lindo as our featured guest. With roots in the Bay Area, Lindo’s award-winning performances span television, stage, and film, and he most recently played Delta Slim in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Of course, Delroy will share the stage with our incredible students as they uplift, move, and inspire us with their words. Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP/Shutterstock
