In this episode originally recorded on the IpX TN Podcast, Staci Hegarty, Envision RISE Global Director of Equity & Inclusion, takes on questions from listeners and our community on issues surrounding diversity, equity, racism, inclusion, biases, and invisible diversity. Staci addresses questions concerning:
· The true meaning of privilege as an unearned advantage that removes obstacles others face
· The difference between equality and equity
· The importance of inclusion in diversity efforts
· The reality of the “American Dream” for many
· The notion of colorblindness and the need to acknowledge ones’ different experiences
· How to acknowledge you own biases and intentionally change your way of thinking
· The need to recognize and accommodate invisible disabilities
