Episode 2 Part 2 ft. Keiara Auzenne and Jasmine Williams
So you’re starting a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion plan, but where do you start? Should you include “Justice”? Should “Access” be a part of the scope? Why do other organizations have a different order of letters? Does that matter?…
These fundamental questions are some of the most challenging and vital foundations for a solid plan. Because of the weight of this process coupled with the desire to get it right, it often leads to analysis paralysis, and this can feel like inaction or leave us stuck.
In part two of this second episode of Speechless, we touch on equity fatigue, the importance of health and wellbeing to the BIPOC community, and what it will take to change behavior within organizations.
Join guests Keiara Auzenne, Diversity Initiatives Coordinator at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Jasmine Williams, Connections Program Manager at Seattle Aquarium, to explore these topics more deeply.
