    I am thrilled to share this enriching episode with my amazing guest, Camille Leak. Camille (she/her) is a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Practitioner & Educator, Somatic Practitioner, Trauma-Informed Learning & Development Facilitator, Truth Teller, and Storyteller. Camille often says: “I'm not doing my job if I don't do two things: 1) tell you how DEI impacts your bottom line, e.g., how it makes you money, drives growth, or increases relevancy and 2) make you really uncomfortable; being uncomfortable is the only way you know you are doing DEI right.” Via her practice, Real Talk & Brave Spaces, she provides group facilitation, workshops, and one-on-one coaching on a variety of DEI topics, cultivating spaces where individuals and groups can fearlessly confront the most uncomfortable elements of DEI. Additionally, Camille is the Community Manager of Holistic Life Navigation, a company and community that serves to support people as they release stress and trauma by listening to their bodies. During our time together, Camille shares: Her personal journey into the DEI spaceThe importance of acknowledging and leaning into our differences, embracing discomfort and curiosity on our diversity and inclusion journeysThe role our personal experiences with marginalization and trauma can have in navigating DEI conversationsUnderstanding the differences between biases, privilege & discrimination in facilitating brave conversationsThe impact generational wisdom can have on our identities Exploring body awareness as part of an individual's healing journey I hope the conversation with Camille inspires you to approach Diversity, Equity & Inclusion with an open heart and curious mind, finding new ways to make a positive impact in your life and the lives of others.
