How to Integrate Somatic Awareness into Your DEI Work

In this episode I'm joined by Latise Hairston, Founder & Chief Impact Officer at Hope Consulting.

During the episode we explore some challenging questions about the role of organizations in creating harm and doing good for marginalized communities. Latise offers her insights and perspectives on whether the harm caused by organizations outweighs their benefits, and the importance of creating meaningful change in DEI work despite ongoing pain and harm.
