156: Leaders with Heart Care All Year Round

In this episode, Heather speaks with LaToya Lyn, Vice President of Talent Strategy at Oscar Health. Heather and LaToya begin with a discussion of Black History month and what it means to both of them. Their conversation ranges from activism, to identities, to listening and learning. One of the richest episodes to date.  Takeaways: Black History month is in February because of 2 prominent birthdays in February—Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Drive D&I conversations all year round.  Safe spaces aren't just for the trendy voices.  Repeated exposure to stimulus creates learning.  Listen for the other person's lens; listen outside of your shoes.  Everybody has so many identities.  Search for people's "why". Know the goodness that everyone has been a part of on both sides.
