Moreover, with 30 years of experience in international affairs to date, Dr. G has visited 50 countries on five continents. Her art and scholarship reflect her vision, values, and commitment to harmonious, sustainable living on Earth. A dedicated lifelong learner, Dr. G attended both traditional academic institutions (brick) as well as hybrid academic programs (click), and she has successfully completed rigorous scholarly programs in both environments. Her dissertation, Generative Leadership and the Life of Aurelia Erskine Brazeal, a Trailblazing African American Female Foreign Service Officer, was published in 2020. Dr. G has long had an interest in the transcendent and contemplative practices.
