Minnesota got its first chief equity officer this year. In April, Stephanie Burrage stepped into this new role in state government where she’ll advise Gov. Tim Walz and his administration on addressing racial disparities and issues of concern for communities of color in Minnesota. 

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with Burrage about childhood summers working on her grandparents’ Michigan blueberry farm, what she’s been hearing in listening sessions across the state and how she sees newly-passed legislation creating a more level playing field for all Minnesotans. 

We’ll also hear from Priscilla Stallings, Minnesota’s chief inclusion officer, who is charged with diversifying the state workforce and bringing equitable policies to recruitment and retention in state government jobs.
