In light of the recently revived Black Lives Matter movement, acts of police brutality, and following riots and protests, I thought it was important to look back at some conversations I had back in January with a couple experts in equity. Originally entitled “I’m Not Interested in Equality Because Equality Isn’t Good Enough”, this episode has become extremely relevant again as nonprofit leadership teams review their DEI policies and goals. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, Jon Royal (a community leader helping organizations prioritize equity) and Chandra Williams (CEO of the Center for Student Achievement Solutions) return to help your organization improve its DEI.
