Leading through an equity lens with Chief Diversity Officer Dr. Latoya Pierce

Ever wonder why despite decades of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives we are still far from leveling the playing field for  women and person of color? We need to lead through and equity lens and create real change that moves the needle in advancing women (and women of color!) to those top-level leadership roles of power, pay, and prestige.

A face at the table is not a voice at the table. Don’t miss this interview with Chief Diversity Officer, the brilliant Dr. Latoya Pierce as she provides a practical and actionable roadmap to a fairer and more equitable workforce. Learn what you can do to be an ally!

We’ll also discuss the important work of Kimberlé Crenshaw who coined the term intersectionality and described it as “a lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it interlocks and intersects. It's not simply that there's a race problem. Agender problem here, and a class or LGBTQ problem there, many times that framework erases what happens to people who are subject to all of those things.” Advancing women is about advancing ALL women. Together we rise!
