Why Performative Equity Fails, What to Do Instead, and How to Rise and Resist with Dr. Janice Gassam Asare

This week on The KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson welcomes Dr. Janice Gassam Asare, who is an organizational psychologist, Forbes contributor, TEDx speaker, and author of the upcoming book, “Rise and Resist: How to Reclaim Workplace Equity and Justice.” They dig into why traditional DEI efforts often fail the people they’re meant to help, how to navigate equity pushback in a time of rollbacks, and what real empowerment looks like in today’s workplace. Dr. Asare brings both heart and hard truth, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to lead change with clarity, courage, and care. If you’re ready to move beyond performative inclusion and into transformative action, this episode is for you. You can connect with Dr. Janice Z.
