Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging - A skill set for technology innovation

Bias and Growth Mindset Principles: Giving Yourself Grace and Room to Grow
The word bias has taken on an element of shame with organizations and trainers boasting about “removing bias” to further DEI efforts. How is this remotely possible when bias is a natural part of the brain’s decision-making process? Tanasha will offer growth mindset principles that provide a powerful framework that focuses on embracing discomfort, seeking understanding, building resilience, and giving oneself the space, grace, and opportunity to learn new things.

Nothing about us without us
"Nothing about us without us" is a powerful statement that emphasizes the importance of involving people with disabilities in any discussions or decisions that may impact their lives. This principle is especially relevant regarding diversity efforts, as disability is often overlooked or marginalized in discussions of diversity and inclusion. Reginé will discuss engaging people with disabilities in meaningful ways rather than tokenizing them or treating them as a checkbox on a diversity checklist.
