50/50 Leadership To Host Free "Decoding Diversity" Trainings
Part 1: "Decoding Diversity – Establishing a Baseline of Understanding" To follow at later date, Part 2: "Doing Diversity - Weaving Social Justice Into the Fabric of Your Organization"
- (1888PressRelease) September 15, 2020 - 50/50 Leadership to host the first of two virtual workshops on Friday, October 9th, 12- 1:30 PM PST. Dr. Hanna Song will help clarify some relevant terms around diversity, inclusion, equity, microaggressions, unconscious bias, privilege, and social justice as well as answer some burning questions:
• What are the barriers to creating a diverse and representative organization?
• What can we do as members of organizations and communities to mitigate our biases, and create systems where all can thrive and achieve excellence?
• How do we rethink policies, protocols, and initiatives to be inclusive, equitable and guided by social justice?
Part One of the two-part event will provide definitions used in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Developing cultural competencies when discussing the nuances of increasing diversity and creating a sustainable culture of inclusion is fundamental. Part Two will then take a deeper dive into systemic racism and how organizations can actively serve as part of a solution.
"As an organization, 50/50 Leadership is working meticulously at every level, to be the systemic change we wish to see in the world, and to create the policies, protocols and procedures that make this a lived reality. Dr. Song's important work makes this systemic change accessible for organizations genuinely invested in social justice." – Ria Severance, LMFT, 50/50 Board Member & Diversity Chair
