Uncovering Belonging Pride At Work Canada

Join co-hosts Erin and Jade as they engage in a thought-provoking and heartfelt conversation with Anishinaabe Grandmother Kim Wheatley, delving into the profound themes of healing through ceremony, reclaiming Indigenous identity, and challenging the notion of "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion." In this powerful episode, Grandmother Kim fearlessly explores Canada's ongoing cultural genocide of Indigenous people and the importance of continuous learning and growth as we seek rooted truths and action toward reconciliation on stolen land. Stay tuned for Part 2 to continue this inspiring journey.

In a captivating twist, Erin Davis  (she / her) and Jade Pichette (they / them) turn the tables on themselves and ask each other the thought-provoking questions they usually reserve for their esteemed guests.

How does our sense of self and identity play a part in belonging? And what roles do vulnerability, humility, (and Google) play in accountability?
Award-winning, Toronto-based BIPOC Career Activator and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Consultant, Gwenna Kadima (she/her), joins co-hosts Erin and Jade to unpack the nuances of belonging, accountability, and tangible actions with big impact. 

Jefferson Darrell (he/him), the founder and CEO of Breakfast Culture, joins co-hosts Erin and Jade to share some of his “Secret Sauce” when it comes to inclusion and belonging including the roles and impacts of self-reflexivity and Racial Battle Fatigue in the workplace, and how EDI consulting work can be a solutions-focused way to survive and thrive. 

Are histories of oppression repeating themselves and if so, what role does DEI have in breaking the cycle? Co-hosts Erin and Jade are joined by PhD, DEI advocate, historian and host of the Just One Q podcast, Dr. Melissa Horne, who shares how learning about Black History and the Civil Rights Movement shaped her journey towards Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work.

What stake do men and boys have in addressing the harms caused by patriarchy? Jake Stika, Next Gen Men’s Executive Director, joins our cohosts Jade Pichette and Erin Davis in rethinking how we address misogyny, patriarchy, and toxic masculinity to create a culture of inclusion and build towards a future where boys & men experience less pain, and cause less harm.
