In 2011, I was a well-meaning do-gooder at a do-gooder company, ignorant of my own biases and of the culture of structural racism and inequities we’re all swimming in. It took nine years for me to begin to lead with equity, center justice, and help lead that company through the same transformation. What started as a 99% white group with no experience in social justice work became a team where board, staff, and leadership are majority Black, Indigenous, and people of color, all reaching toward justice together. The work we did to learn who we were, in relation to the world we live in, made it possible. Today, every client engagement I do starts with a deep dive into who’s in the room. What identities and lived experiences do you carry? What does that mean for how you work together to build an inclusive team doing powerful work? Join this session to explore how the journey towards equity and inclusion starts with an exploration of ourselves. You can’t get there without starting here.
