#16: ”Broadening DEI Work to Include Intersectional Identities and Neurodiversity” with Jessi Purdy

Jessi Purdy is an activist, public speaker,  and the CEO of FIC Human Resource Partners, an organization that fosters inclusive cultures through policy, training, and discussion. Her identity as a panromantic, asexual, transwoman is central to her life and work.  

In this episode, Jessi and I discuss how DEI work is broadening to include intersectional identities and neurodiversity, including recognizing neurodivergent people as assets to an organization, as long as they are able to function authentically and are not confined by neurotypical standards and expectations. 

Jessi offers advice to organizations on how they can use their values, guiding principles, and DEI policy (specifically equity) to create an inclusive culture. She also shares how her experiences with ADHD and chronic illness impact and inspire the way she shows up for work.
