For diversity, equity, and inclusion issues, we must find the root causes for our specific populations before diving in with well-intentioned interventions that may miss the mark and leave us no better than before we started.

What are group norms or shared agreements? (And why are they important?)
Every group naturally develops normative behaviors, expectations, and unwritten ways of operating.
