DEI is: Naming Whiteness in White Spaces

📜Transcript [https://bit.ly/DEIisTranscriptS2E3] | 📺Video [https://bit.ly/DEIisVideoS2E3] If you can’t talk about a problem, can you even work on it? This is PRECISELY the position that many DEI professionals find themselves in. If we can’t talk about whiteness—that is, the way that the dominant culture systematically advantages white people over others—then what can we really DO about it to ensure that white people are part of solutions that work for all, including white people? Further, if we can’t speak about whiteness in spaces dominated by whiteness (you know, like most businesses), then how can we create the kinds of diverse, equitable, inclusive, accessible, and just workplaces where everyone belongs? Dr. Nadejda Webb, Clarissa Fuselier, and Jess MacFarlane join The “DEI is:” Podcast to walk us through why it’s so crucial to successful DEI work to be able to name whiteness in white spaces—and how YOU can start doing something about it TODAY. *** Not yet part of the DiVerity Network?

DEI is: Too American!

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. Belonging. Access. Justice. In our current climate, these words are configured and reconfigured seemingly endlessly, but the throughline for whatever acronym you prefer, is trying to have a positive impact on the way that we work and of course, live with one another. To that end, such efforts are constructed with capital “S” Society in mind—that is, everyone. Or is it? Most conversations around DEI revolve around one embedded assumption: the context we’re talking about is the USA. So, just HOW diverse, equitable, and inclusive is DEI? Join host Enrico E. Manalo and special guests, Abbiola Ballah, Founder & CEO of Phern Education Studios LLC, and Kaumudi Goda, Founder of The Human Conversation. *** Not yet part of the DiVerity Network?

DEI is: Navigating Resistance to Change & Conflict w/ Katie McLaughlin

It’s often said that “the only constant is change”, but it might be accurate to add “. . . and resistance to change.” For all the attention that DEI and Social Justice, Organizational Justice, and even Economic Justice have garnered in recent years, it’s the resistance to change that has taken center stage. Why is that and what can we do about it? Join host Enrico E. Manalo and special guest, Katie McLaughlin, Founder, Chief Strategist & Transformation Artist at McLaughlin Method as we drill down to what YOU can do about resistance to DEI efforts and the conflict that can come with that resistance in YOUR organization! *** ➡️Not yet part of the DiVerity Network?
