It’s no secret that there has been increasing pressure on diversity, equity, and inclusion leaders as their roles are defunded and programs are slashed. We’re seeing cultural shifts away from DEI in the workplace, education, and in our lives. Today’s guest has worked in this space for almost 30 years and is fully aware that her work is not over. Denise Hamilton is a DEI professional specializing in Ally Training and the author of Indivisible: How to Forge Differences into a Stronger Future.
