Fun fact: once upon a time, I wanted to be a journalist. As a teenager, I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to write for Teen Star, published weekly in The Kansas City Star.
Nearly 20 years later, I’m honored to be featured in The Star, alongside other local Black authors as we share our stories. This has been quite the journey for me and I’m grateful to continue to have these opportunities!

In the latest episode of Conversations with Crystal, I chat with Deidre Anderson. First things first, she ensures that all the respect is put on her name as she is no longer operating under the title executive director, but chief operating officer of United Inner City Services. Her passion for the youngest learners is unwavering and was built based on her experience being educated in public schools in Iowa and Minnesota.
Deidre is leading the operation of three early childhood education facilities, during a pandemic no less and making difficult decisions that only the public see after much conversation.
One thing that stands out to me from the conversation is this: “As a leader, I’m supposed to envision a utopia and figure out how we create as close to that reality as possible.”
