PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

Building capacity on the paradigms of diversity, equity and inclusion involve content, discussion, activity and interaction. This learning is personal, reflective, uncomfortable, and requires brave transformations of self. It relies on one’s willingness to be vulnerable and consistent. It demands that all of us recognize our individual privileges and consider the social stratification of our constructed identities. Participation in just about any equity, diversity and inclusion training does not guarantee an individual to become critically acute; however, when organizations expect their stakeholders to uphold humanity, anti-bias mindsets and behaviorS, a continuum of learning on the topics of diversity, equity and inclusion can be transformative.
