Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Toward Interdependence

Session Description

This illuminating session set the foundation for integrating equity, diversity and inclusion into organizational practices. Through reflective, authentic, and action-oriented conversations around a deeper examination of EDI language, this workshop unpacked each concept in isolation and discussed their interconnectedness. Concepts included identifying tokenism, superficial change, and other risks associated with “diversity.” Participants explored what prioritizing EDI looks like for them as individuals and within an organizational context.

Facilitated by Cathleen Antoine-Abiala and Annoj Bhandari of True North EDI. True North EDI was founded on the belief that organizational and institutional change can only happen through deep and informed reflection on the ways in which identity, history, and power intersect and impact our lives. We facilitate across spheres to support organizations in making meaningful connections between people and ideas, reflection and action, and past, present, and possibility. Through workshops, coaching, and consulting, we support professional communities in the design and development of human-centered practices, policies, and cultures that allow for and promote the possibility for each individual to show up and thrive as our whole and authentic self.
