Lifting a Leader and Voice for All Sides
A Conversation with Tiffany M. Moore
At the intersection of policy, technology and diversity, along a road that starts in Detroit and ends in Washington, D.C., lies WMU esteemed alumna Tiffany M. Moore's remarkable career. Her path to WMU was fueled by the commitment to education of her hard-working single mother. The first in her family to attend college, she studied Spanish and Japanese at WMU, although her mother had hoped she would pursue a business major.
This mini documentary, based on an interview with Tiffany by LA Times opinion columnist LZ Granderson, follows her journey from the suburbs of Detroit to Kalamazoo, to her post-graduation leap to D.C., where for 30 years she has worked with people on both sides of the aisle and across multiple perspectives to help shape public policy. Tiffany has worked in the Halls of Congress, with several Presidential administrations, and with corporate and industry leaders, always intent on finding common ground on difficult issues. What’s made her a great leader is her genuine curiosity to learn from others who may think differently and her ability to build trust.
