  • Our Liberation Is Intertwined: Building Indigenous-Black Solidarity

    Our Liberation Is Intertwined: Building Indigenous-Black Solidarity
    Aug 7 2025
    Building Indigenous-Black solidarity is essential for confronting the interconnected systems of colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism that have historically oppressed both communities. By recognizing shared struggles while honoring distinct identities, organizational leaders can foster deeper trust, accountability, and transformative change. This solidarity creates space for collective healing and liberation, rooted in mutual respect and justice. Join us for an in-depth conversation with Elissa Sloan Perry and Aja Couchois Duncan of Change Elemental, along with Ámate Perez of Latinx Racial Equity Project, who will all share valuable insights and experiences from working to build solidarity between Indigenous and Black communities.

  • Confronting the "DEI Hire" Myth

    Confronting the "DEI Hire" Myth
    Dec 9 2024
    In this episode, we talk with Laura Morgan Roberts, organizational psychologist and author, about her article, 'DEI Hires Don’t Lower the Bar. They Raise It.' Together, we take on the myth that marginalized groups "cheat" the hiring process, and reveal why it's homogeneity—not diversity—that truly lowers the bar. Roberts breaks down how we can flip the narrative, turning the "DEI hire" label into a badge of honor, while sharing the “four freedoms” we need to thrive at work.
