What It Really Looks Like... Treasuring Diversity & Empowering Inclusion

"Diversity is being INVITED to the party. Inclusion is being asked to DANCE."  Verna Myers, D & I Expert

Have you ever looked at someone in a work place and felt that THEY didn't feel respected/included?  What did that look like?

Dr. Rumay Alexander, Professor of Nursing & Past Vice Chancellor of Diversity & Inclusion at UNC Chapel Hill continues our extended interview.  Rumay began our discussion of family feelings (both sides) surrounding the removal of the Confederate Monument, Silent Sam at UNC Chapel Hill. 

As our discussion continued, we explored in great depth the feelings that underlie a lack of inclusion. Dr. Alexander expounded upon what respect looks like in a person's face and with examples from her own life, work experiences, and professional associations.  She speaks about these difficult topics in great depth and with passionate feelings.
