We can’t get very far in conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion without talking about intersectionality. It’s a natural part of the conversation, and the lived experiences of each of us.

Leadership is never easy. The responsibility on leaders is great, as the authority and influence of their position have the potential for both harm and good. The last nearly two years of the COVID-19 pandemic have only added to the list of challenges for leaders to navigate.

Opportunities to learn and grow along with the powerful social movements of our time. And the opportunity to make necessary changes to embrace, activate, and amplify inclusive leadership practices.
