In our first episode of the 2025 season, we’re jumping right into the controversial fray of things.
We’re tackling a timely topic that’s literally dividing people and an entire country.
There’s been a lot of controversy, destructive action…and destructive conversation on social media about diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI.
This episode is part one in a two-part series to start off season six. We’re diving right into the state of DEI in North America.
This is a compelling conversation with these three guests providing a perspective from both sides of the Canada-U.S. border:
- John Robinson — Founder and CEO of Our Ability, based in Albany, NY; he has lived experience with disability
- Danica McPhee — Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity Co-ordinator at Erie Shores HealthCare in Leamington, ON; she has lived experience with disability
- Ruby Latif — Certified Coach, Certified Psychological Health and Safety Professional and the Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging for the Brant County Healthcare System in Brantford, ON.
