My DEI Origin Story

Belonging at Work

DEI Teaches Self-Love

“When we become aware of the belief systems that tell us to fear and hate those who are different than us, we are forced to confront the ways we’ve learned to fear and hate ourselves too. But by elevating our consciousness around racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism, we discover language to name the oppressive narratives that keep us disempowered. Undoubtedly DEI teaches us compassion and empathy for others but for ourselves above all.

As we learn to love the worst versions of ourselves, we enhance our capacity to love others.”
