When social media threads turn racist and ugly, how can we keep voicing our experience and truth? I asked Madison and Emily about how one person interprets their "spicy posts" as positive while they might set another person off into a fit. Yet even with some hateful responses, Madison and Emily's DEI voices prevail! The responses they receive, whether supportive and inspired or spiteful and prejudiced, continue... And to keep gifting us with their voice so we might be able to

Since I joined LinkedIn, I have been able to better help my clients by allowing for myself to be more honest and authentic about who I am and what I can do for them. Monumental changes have happened. I came out as queer / gay / lesbian on LinkedIn with the article, "A Love Letter to My First Rainbow Flag." The article was picked up by #BeTheRippleBlog and had 732+ views the first day! The LinkedIn Community has welcomed me as a result. I have learned so much as a diverse p

Now, quotes about racism from James Baldwin, Audre Lorde are popular and everyone is expected to share them. I love this! Let's keep having these conversations everyone about #diversity, #inclusion, #bias, and #microaggressions. Let's not stop with those who al
