Questions and Answers
Navigating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) can be challenging. Helping ourselves and others to understand DEI topics can be even more challenging. That’s why we’ve created a Q&A section to help! Many of our answers include short, and succinct illustrative animation videos. Let us know what you think, how you use these resources, and submit any questions you’d like answered.
Why say #BlackLivesMatter?
We say #BlackLivesMatter to draw attention to the fact that the deeply rooted white supremacy of our systems and culture continues to affect black people every day. And we must do something about it. The highlighting of #BlackLivesMatter is equity in practice.
What is the best type of feedback?
Feedback and support from others is a source of our self-efficacy — the belief we have in ourselves to accomplish a task. Using a simple formula, we can adjust our feedback to be a super-booster for self-efficacy in others, through what I call, “Sticky Feedback.” Check out this video to learn how you can better encourage others to reach their goals.
What is implicit bias?
Finding the egg would have won me a $1000 prize. Not finding the egg won me an egg once worth $1000, and a good anecdote for explaining schemas and implicit bias.
What is the difference between equality and equity?
Equality is when everyone gets the same, but equality isn’t reality. Equity compensates for systemic inequalities. It is an explicit effort to level the playing field with the goal of reaching equality. Watch this illustrative explanation video to learn more.
What vocabulary do I need to know related to diversity, equity, and inclusion?
Language changes. It is important to keep learning key terms and evolving our vocabulary so that we can contribute to a more kind and inclusive world.
What is the difference between diversity and inclusion?
In theory, diversity is the inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization. However simply inviting people in, isn’t inclusion. Watch this illustrative explanation video to learn the difference.

I dare you. Show me your action.
If we want to be the leaders that we say we are, we have to stop writing diversity and solidarity statements and start writing and implementing actionable strategies.
What can you do?
Many people are asking, “What can I do?” when it comes to racial equity in the US. One thing we can do is continue to educate ourselves. However, awareness isn’t enough. Knowledge without action is complicity. We must act to influence meaningful, systemic change.

A fresh chapter. A new community.
2020 ushered me into an exciting professional chapter that falls in parallel with a tragic season. It is fair to say that this season is a new chapter for us all, and a revitalized opportunity to challenge the status quo to intentionally create equitable and inclusive environments that support people and drive success. We must take collective action to drive systemic change.
