About the Program
The success or failure of personal diversity and inclusion narratives are often linked to power, privilege and personal comfort. We embrace and celebrate stories of diverse individuals who have overcome significant obstacles, situated in different times or spaces, to achieve great outcomes. Yet we often struggle when confronted with our own biases and diversity and inclusion failures. Personal conversations around diversity and inclusion, those intended to address bias and discrimination in the present, are often fraught with potential for failure, which then translates into silence and missed opportunities for positive change.
