From there, Dr. Kiki Baker Barnes led the Bleu Devils to a string of Gulf Coast Athletic Conference championships while collecting accolades for herself including a 2019 Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year award while becoming the first woman to serve as president and the first Black woman to serve as commissioner of the GCAC. And she did it the only way she knows how--by thinking big. Dr. Barnes joins "Conversations on the Oaks" to talk about how she stays motivated to achieve lofty goals.
