In the first episode in 2024, Cordell Carter and I discuss:
-The definition of belonging
-Diversity as being a given in organizations due to the changing demographics in the country
-Belonging being the destination and DEI, the strategy to work towards that destination
-Framing DEIB in terms of profit-and-loss (P&L)
-Ways to get involved in the community to spark change
