Sara leads our team to live out the commitment to excellence to our customers. A graduate of the University of Illinois-Urbana and Northern Illinois University, she began her career in corporate America in the consumer packaged goods industry as a consumer data and logistics consultant.

She has served as a 3 PL business consultant for Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, Dollar General, Procter and Gamble, L’Oreal, Alberto-Culver, and Luster Products.

In 2020, Sara expanded the product offering of Diversity Connected beyond logistics consulting to freight truck service and loose building material hauling. She is committed to bringing gender diversity to the traditionally male-dominated freight truck and loose building materials hauling industry.

With guidance from the WBDC, WBENC, Women’s Business Council – Southwest, Cook County, and the Southland Development Authority, Allies for Community Business, and Capital One’s SAGE diverse business development program, Diversity Connected has created living-wage careers for our female-dominant CDL truck driver team.

Sara is the proud mother of 2 children, Kris and Josh. She is a faith-based youth lay leader and a bowling enthusiast. The causes she is most passionate about include remediating domestic violence, youth illiteracy, and social justice matters. Sara is a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc.

Kevin Leonard here and I am a very young 52 years of age. I enjoy bowling and a night of house music smooth tunes, or relaxing melodies. I can be a listening ear but I really want to get to a solution. I’ve been with DC a little over four months and I’m learning something new daily. 

I’m Shanise Williams. My birthday is July 1st. I’m 42 and have four children. I love God and my family. I enjoy dancing, fireworks, music and helping others. I’ve been with Diversity Connected for 8 months. I manage Driver Loyalty and Fleet maintenance.

I am Decatur Conley. I am the one who stays calm and during situations. I love working with youth and encouraging their growth and development. Fun fact about me, I love sports, music and playing cards. I am responsible for freight management.

Johnny Hampton, I’m 41 years old from Mississippi currently living in Illinois. I have a 6 year old son name Jeremiah. Fun fact about me is I love bowling and I was addicted to soap, but now I’m clean. Making people laugh brings me joy. I’ve been working for Diversity Connected for about 8 months. My role is to get government contracts and also booking loads as well.

My name is Patrice Eberhardt, and I am the mother of two. I have worked in social media for 10+ years and have a BA in communications. I’ve been a private contractor for Diversity Connected for the past 5 years and recently promoted to Marketing & Social Media management. I enjoy creating content that pulls people in. I love working with Diversity Connected and am excited about the expansion and growth of the company.
