Episode Overview
Darren Isom doesn’t love diversity just for the sake of diversity, but because honoring and celebrating diversity is how we all win. BIPOC leaders bring invaluable lived experiences that offer unique perspectives and insights to our world’s and sector’s problems. By amplifying these voices, we strengthen our teams, our nonprofits, our sector, and ultimately the world.
Darren joins us today to share what he has learned about amplifying and honoring diverse voices from his own personal experiences and work in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
