Why the attack on inclusive policies and programs should concern everyone
I’ve been leading and designing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs for over two decades. Unlike countless new entrants to the field, my team and I have traversed this terrain for ages.

The workplace learning laboratory that once compensated where good home training lacked is under attack, and we are all in danger.
My interpretation of the discipline of diversity was informed by my esteemed mother, a highly respected change agent who has ascended to the apex of the inclusion industry where behavioral psychology and diversity intersect. She’s been at it since the 1980’s. I took what she learned and transformed it into a metrics-driven methodology that quantifies diversity ROI and facilitates sustainable change for organizations and communities around the world.
