Be a better ally.

Make your organization more diverse and more inclusive.

It takes intention.

For individuals: Racism. Islamophobia. Sexism. Classism. Transphobia. Homophobia. The list goes on. We are seeing a resurgence of -isms and actions designed to fuel those -isms. How can well-meaning people make a difference? By educating ourselves. By understanding structural and systemic oppression. By speaking up. By un-centering ourselves. By learning how to learn from those for whom we want to advocate.

For Organizations: The business case for diversity. Unleashing innovation through inclusion. Attracting and retaining diverse employees. Tapping the potential of a globally diverse work force. How can organizations make a difference? By considering diversity and inclusion two of the most important intangible assets they can have, affecting innovation capital, reputation capital, relationship capital, and human capital.
