MY 2nd MOST RECENT LINKEDIN POST explores why employees who cause so much harm in orgs are so resilent while equity-seeking staff leave through the backdoor in droves.
Sorry for neglecting my Twitter account (not enough room to write). Will do better🙃.

MY MOST RECENT LINKEDIN POST threatens to break the platform: 3000 reads & 25 reshares alone as I slept last night. It is a honest conversation re. why equity & inclusion leaders are fleeing both private and public sector organizations. #equity #inclusion

"As an Iñupiaq, @AndQuaq says, learning this history can be 'healing': 'an acknowledgment of the truth that happened to us as native peoples in the past,' and an answer to today’s stereotypical—or absent—representations of Indigenous people and cultures."

This “P&G commercial has drawn tremendous backlash from many who call it “race-baiting.” Their intense reactions, illustrate, when we don’t share another's pain we tend to diminish& then dismiss their experiences. #antiBlackracism is real & so are the concerns of Black parents.

If you don't have a SKILLED equity specialist seated with leadership (as a direct report to the CEO) along with the involvement of the board and middle management—who are willing to be led by community—don’t waste your time. Even with the above, the work is near impossible. p.4/4

Too often, the staff assigned to lead the work of equity in an org. don't have the specialization.There is no acknowledgement that the work of equity is specialized work.Would an equity specialist be assigned to head up the IT dept., how about legal (without the expertize)? p.3/4

This year's Indigenous Heritage Month display was put together thanks to the resources from @tiplerteaches and @APTNNews! I can't wait to read these stories over the announcements all month long so our students can learn about the many accomplishments of Indigenous people in 🇨🇦.
