Diversity + Inclusion: Has the Needle Been Moved? (ft. Deneesha Lawrence) | Ep. 42

On this episode, we're joined by Deneesha Lawrence -- Producer on the marketing team for Facebook's new Portal product. For about an hour, we spend time unpacking some of the difficult questions about diversity & inclusion. Some of which include:  what’s the difference between diversity and inclusion?  what is the long term impact / agenda people are seeking?  if you are someone who doesn’t feel included in your workplace, how do you decide whether it’s your place to stay and fight that battle or if you should leave and start your own? These are the questions we are unpacking and many more. This is a conversation that is needed, and I’ll have to preface that we are not experts in this domain. We simply have chosen to start the conversation.  And, our hope out of this conversation is that people who feel excluded and uncomfortable at work can begin to find peace + solidarity in which actions are best for them.
