WECAN on Demystifying Equity for the Next Generation of Leaders with Celeste Warren

Today's episode of WECAN, global diversity and inclusion leader Celeste Warren shares her mission to make equity accessible and actionable for everyone. Drawing from her experience as a Chief Diversity Officer at a Fortune 100 company, she discusses her book, “The Truth About Equity.” She provides a roadmap for leaders and individuals to build truly inclusive environments. Celeste shares how her lifelong commitment to equity was inspired by her father, who broke barriers as the first Black teacher and principal in his community. She views DEI not as a specialised initiative, but as "Management 101" and a fundamental business practice. The Six Steps to Equity from her book, The Truth About Equity, Celeste outlines a practical framework for creating change: Awareness: Recognising the gaps and biases. Access: Ensuring opportunities are available to all. Advocacy: Using your platform to support others. Action: Implementing equity into daily habits. Accountability: Measuring progress and taking responsibility. Empowerment: Giving others the tools to succeed. We are incredibly thankful to Celeste for speaking so plainly about a topic that has recently faced significant pushback. By providing clear business cases and a management approach, she proves how DEI is crucial to supporting broader business objectives.
