Promoting Inclusivity: The DBA Mixtape Series

During his 2021-2022 Denver Bar Association presidency, civil rights lawyer Tyrone Glover infused innovation and inclusivity into his leadership by creating a series of thematic mixtapes. These mixtapes were not just collections of music but a platform to celebrate diversity within the legal community. By selecting tracks that resonated with each theme and incorporating narratives from fellow lawyers, Glover turned each mixtape into a tool for education and reflection.  

The mixtapes served as a bridge, connecting members of the Denver Bar Association during a time when remote work had become the norm. By sharing personal stories and highlighting the achievements of underrepresented groups, these compilations fostered a sense of community and understanding among colleagues. This initiative encouraged dialogue and provided a shared cultural experience, strengthening the bonds within the legal community.  

Glover's unique approach to his presidency demonstrated how creativity and a commitment to inclusivity can enhance professional environments. The mixtape series not only showcased his passion for music and justice but also set a precedent for future leaders in how to engage and unite members in meaningful ways.

You can find the full collection of mixtapes on Spotify.
