Mita Mallick is infamous - an outspoken champion of diversity, equity, and inclusion at companies like Carta + Unilever. She’s also a passionate storyteller. As a columnist for SWAAY - and published in the Harvard Business Review, New York Post, Forbes, Fast Company, Business Insider, and more - Mita is challenging perceptions of what diversity is really about. Across her career, Mita’s fought to ensure people who look different are included - in the workplace, our communities, and even in our media. In a candid, revealing conversation about the not-always-rosy parts of her youth and career, we learned a lot more about the importance of advocacy, (perceived) power dynamics and why we HAVE to stick up for each other - even when it might cost us something. In today’s world, being a bystander won’t cut it anymore, even when they’re just mispronouncing your name.
