TCU Call and Response Book Event With Dr. Shonda Jones

Join award-winning author and leadership expert L. Michelle Smith for an evening of conversation, insight, and connection around her forthcoming book, Call & Response: 10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church.

In this special TCU event sponsored by the TCU Bob Schieffer College of Communicagion and the Brite Divinity School, Smith will be in conversation with Dr. Shonda Jones, EVP and Dean of Brite Divinity School to explore how the Black Church has historically served as a leadership incubator for professionals across industries.

Blending history and culture, applied positive psychology and neuroscience, and modern leadership theory, Call & Response reframes the Black Church as one of the most enduring leadership incubators in American life, and offers a timely framework for leading with purpose, resilience, and community today.

This event will include the fireside chat, a reading, audience Q&A, reception and book signing. Whether you’re a student leader in business, education, the arts, ministry, or community, this evening is an invitation to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine how we lead—together.

Books will be available on-site free to TCU students with an ID and for purchase for anyone else in attendance.
