One of the most powerful tools in promoting DEIB is storytelling. Stories can bridge gaps, connect people, and foster empathy. I recognize the transformative power of storytelling and utilize it to inspire change.
These stories catalyze dialogue, helping employees understand and appreciate different perspectives. I have shared my stories in many forums, from TEDx to Walt Disney World.
