Feb. 21, 2021: A Note from Tony Farmer, host, Black Lives Matter Radio Show — I am thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Towanna Burrous, president of the CoachDiversity Institute. A best-selling author, trainer, and an ICF professional certified coach (PCC) based in Washington, DC, Towanna is a sought-after executive coach on a mission to empower diverse communities.
“My role is to test, re-test, and ultimately drive the organization’s overarching vision, strategy, and tactical direction,” explains Towanna, whose CoachDiversity team delivers training and curriculum for to-be coaches and customized diversity and leadership programs for corporate and individual clients.
Towanna has spent the past three decades working in the federal government and the private sector, which has led to her serving a broad range of business executives, sales, and IT (information technology) professionals. She delivers custom keynotes and coaching and training programs designed to assist organizations in their efforts to equip their leaders and key contributors with the skills and competencies needed to excel in today’s challenging business environment. She uses her expertise to help businesses shape corporate strategies that produce positive bottom-line benefits.
“My goal is to be a trusted partner and problem solver for many clients tackling morale, employee retention, employee engagement, training, and development in the post-recession world,” explains Towanna, who has a Doctorate of Education from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Science in Education from the University of Pennsylvania, a Doctorate of Divinity from Elbon-Solutions College of Ministry, and a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Howard University.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
