Perspectives S31/Ep42 Fighting for Diversity, Equity and inclusion

In the wake of racial justice unrest this summer, many businesses are working to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive environment. Trudi Lebron is CEO of ScriptFlipt, a consulting organization doing work in this space. Lebron identifies as a biracial latina (racially white/black, ethnically Latina). At 16 she was a high school dropout and the mother of 2. As she struggled to make ends meet, she experienced gaps in equity and a lack of representation in many industries. WIth support of a mentor/coach, Lebron decided to leave her main job to devote herself to her side gig - working in the DE&I space. ScriptFlipt focuses on helping individuals and organizations to grow their social impact and to make a difference in community.
