It's still Black History Month (US & CA), Lunar New Year (Global) & LGBTQIA+ history month (UK, IE). Avoid being performative by caring personally and professionally about these and other communities all year.

My role as a DEI leader and the Rittenhouse verdict: there is a lot of hurt and frustration. But I head into this week hopeful and thankful for the collectivities that I will engage in. I know I won't be alone.

A person I admired once told me, “I have a feeling you are a bright light that sometimes gets hidden by the bushes.” For those who are changing the fabric of their context, I brought my hedge clippers. Let’s get to work.

We cannot say success looks like sidelining some generations in favor of others. Instead, we should have more ages represented in leadership articles, lending credibility to the adage "leadership can exist at any level."

I am committed to demonstrating cultural humility.

Simply put, cultural humility is the process by which one admits to what they don’t know, along with a commitment to continued growth. Sound familiar?

A big part of belonging is knowing and celebrating days of meaning with members of the community. On this Diwali, I’d like to wish a prosperous and beautiful celebration to all who celebrate.

The current conversation and hand wringing around climate change sounds and looks similar to the reactions to DEIB work.

As the cycles repeat, the problems only grow more insidious because the shared costs increase.

I often get this question, "what are my thoughts on mandating a diverse interview panel." My answer? In theory, I agree. In practice, it can create tokenism.

Be mindful of the extra work and fins ways to recognize it.

The Blackfoot hierarchy of needs begins with self-actualization. In the western version (Maslow), self-actualization is the second to last step, which explains so much.

@loriinspires Thanks for sharing, Lori!

I am committed to supporting those who exist at the margins, ensuring there is a safe space for folks to express their fears and that demands for progress over the past 18 months are realized.

What are your commitments?

As we continue the multigenerational workforce experiment, we must focus on all ages presuming best intent but prioritize impact. The key comes in understanding that the newest generation typically sets the goalposts.

In the long run, hiring for diversity gains without a culture of inclusion leaves you right where you started. Seek to understand how different groups find success in belonging and invest in those initiatives.

The difference between integration & inclusion is the difference between me inviting you out to lunch or to dinner at my home. One conveys tolerance or acceptance, & the other genuine valuing for the whole person. #DEI #DEIB #carefultothoughtful #intentiontoimpact

The Diversity Iceberg reminds us that we rely heavily on visual cues to tell us about a person. Until we connect w/ & learn more about a person, we are filling in the gaps based on positive or negative associations.
