Episode #15: Hello, Inclusion! You Can Call Me Chicken

In May of this year, KFC announced the release of Halal chicken at majority of their restaurants across Ontario. As the year went on, what seemed like inclusion only led to exclusion - and the eventual downfall of any inclusive efforts originally made. What went wrong?  Well inclusion can create exclusion when it's done without diversity, equity and without profit-seeking goals in mind. In this episode, we explore what true inclusion looks like and why true inclusion can't exclude - if done without the goal of dollars in the pocket. We will focus on systemic racism, the role of equity in business decisions, and the broader implications for inclusion done inclusively and intentionally. We can fully inclusive where no one is excluded - that's not a threat, but a world we can create. And yes, we did just use the word "inclusive" eight times . . . you're welcome! Let us know what you think of this episode! Text us!Go to Canadian Salad Website for all sources cited in this episode.
