Susanne & ExchangeNation: In the summer of 2017 I stepped down from my role as CEO of The Verna Myers Company (an organization dedicated to creating a more fair and just world through programs and trainings on race, ethnicity, gender, diversity and inclusion) to dedicate my time to building ExchangeNation, and filming the documentary TV series The Exchange. I am so thrilled that people are excited about our approached to healing the divide in our country.
