Host, Margaret Spence, unpacks the construct of empowering women of color within an organizational hierarchy.

Instead, she argues that true empowerment involves giving women the ability to access organizational development resources without gatekeepers.  Join us for this thought-provoking conversation on empowerment, inclusion, and diversity in the workplace.

    E39: Can We Stop Pretending?

    In a soul-searching conversation with one of my fellow DEI Consultants, she asked the critical question that I immediately wrote down – Can We Stop Pretending? Can we stop pretending that you care about DEI? Can we stop pretending that if we follow the rules, we'll get promoted? Can we stop pretending that you want inclusive hiring practices? Can we stop pretending that you want to hire diverse people? Can we stop pretending that inclusion includes everyone? Lord, can we stop pretending that you want anything Black after Black History Month ends? Breathe! In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence, will unpack the pretenders and ask, when can we all stop pretending that you truly want any of this DEI stuff? So we can have a level-set discussion about the future. Of course, it's hard as a person of color not to call out the pretenders – but to maintain our sanity, we have to say, I think you're pretending to want DEI.  Inclusion Unscripted, where we're not just talking about diversity and inclusion, we're living it.
