When I talk with people in the diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging space, I want to be inspired.
I want people who know their origin story. Who share it powerfully. Who are compelling. Whose honesty and integrity and vision make me tear up. Whose energy gives me goose bumps.
I want connection. I want emotion. I want intentionality and conviction.
I want people who have the courage to be authentic. Who are vulnerable. Who I can trust.
People who embrace their role as a possibility model. Who understand that bringing their full selves to work gives others' permission to bring their full selves to work.
People who know in their bones that creating transformational change is more than executing programming and implementing new policies and initiatives.
People who get that the personal is universal. Who are driven to create impact by connecting with people's hearts and souls, not just their heads.
People who don't dabble in pathetic, generic, boilerplate platitudes like "I believe everyone is equal." People who know that shit isn't good enough.
I want people who have evolved their consciousness. Who are on this earth to change lives. Whose world view is centered in empathy and curiosity and love.
Are you one of these people? If so, let's talk.
