In a compelling, profound keynote presentation at LPM’s Annual Meeting in October 2020, Chevara Orrin described her personal journey that led her to become an award-winning diversity, equity & inclusion practitioner, social entrepreneur, and human rights activist. Within the context of the year’s mass demonstrations related to the deaths of several African-American citizens, she provides historical context, helps us interrogate our own complicity in systems of inequity, shares strategies on how to become allies, and provides tools and resources that can help individuals and organizations begin building a more just world. Watch her video presentation below.
To hear more on diversity & inclusion, listen to LPM’s 2Cents on 2Things podcast with David Lund, LPC, of DICK’S Sporting Goods, where he describes his own introspection about how he may or may not contribute to the problem of systemic racism and lack of diversity in the retail industry.
