Her passion for inclusive storytelling led her to become a Chief Diversity Officer to build end to end inclusion ecosystems across big and small organizations. In her first book, "Reimagine Inclusion: Debunking 13 Myths to Transform Your Workplace", Mita is saying all the quiet parts out loud of what holds us back from making meaningful progress in this work. Each myth opens with a powerful story, and then she leaves us with practical and actionable advice and tips on how to show up differently at work. It's a must have resource for anyone invested in building more inclusive cultures. Mita’s a sought after speaker and coach to start-up founders, executives, and public CEOs.

Mita and I talk about what it’s like to feel excluded and what it means to be included, valued, and truly recognized. We discuss how exclusion impacts mental health and decision making and how Mita’s life experiences drive her mission and work. Mita shares how she was able to overcome some of the hardships mothers face in their careers, which sometimes start with bias in an interview. We also talk about navigating the workplace as a woman of color, myths about DEI, and why diversity and inclusion start at home and in the community.
