THE FOUNDERS
Cecilia L. McDaniel, Ed.D.
Dr. Cecilia McDaniel has conducted grassroots research on African cultural vestiges in Venezuelan oilfields and rural Caribbean villages. This early research on the centrality of belief systems to cultural and advancement provided the basis for “God in the Yoruba Belief System (Renaissance II),” published by Yale University Press. As a member of an interdisciplinary development team, she developed the education component of a Harvard Institute for International Development project for a district in Kenya.
She has fostered faith-based community engagement and transformation through community organizing. Dr. McDaniel has consulted with institutions, associations, and faith-based organizations in developing programs providing education and health access to underserved populations. Fostering community initiatives that grow their own leaders, her primary focus has been to extend access to training and education, to improve health literacy, and to transform futures. She shares this experience in GLTC classes through discussions of theory and practical applications.
She understands and promotes the power of the local assembly to transform communities. Hence, she has collaborated with university, clergy, and others to develop endowed chairs and professorships in Religion, Ethics, and Society and in Family and Child Education. Advocating for gender as well as ethnic equity, she has served on a local Women’s Fund Research and Scholarship Committee, Winston-Salem Foundation. She currently teaches graduate Christian education courses at a local Christian college in addition to faculty assignments at GLTC. Dr. McDaniel transfers this background to GLTC classes in pathways to wellness, capacity building, community engagement and transformation, and social justice.
