Description
We know creating equity-driven, inclusive experiences is critical to our institutions, sector, communities and society. But how might we make strides towards equity - as an institution? How might we continue on our own individual equity, diversity, and anti-racism journeys - together as an organization? We heard from Lauren Young with Beloved Community about their suite of Equity Tools, in particular their EQUITY LENS MAP (ELM), a tool to help teams and institutions identify needs and gaps in equity leadership across their organization, as well as opportunities for growth and resources for intervention. Beloved Community is a pro-black, pro-queer, pro-woman nonprofit racial and economic equity consulting firm based in New Orleans. Their tools are based on the firm belief that people change systems. As made clear by the name of their organization, Dr King’s vision of the Beloved Community inspires their work. ‘When we are practicing the beloved community, we center love for humanity. Love as accountability. Love as justice. Love as community. Love as belonging.’ -Beloved Community website Lauren Young LinkedIn Beloved Community LinkedIn Beloved Community website Links to resources discussed in episode: Apply to Wheel of Fortune, like Lauren did!
