Allyship in ActionWhats The Difference Between DEI And Allyship, Learn Three Key Distinctions with Julie KratzDiversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and allyship, terms often discussed in the same conversation, are very different in practice.

Allyship in Action227: Celebrate DEI With An Inclusion Month (And Year Round Activities) with Julie KratzGiven the recent pushback on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts, many organizations are retreating from the conversation on inclusion at the very time we need it the most. Yet, what is inspiring is the organizations that were already authentically committed are deepening their commitments to DEI as a long-term competitive advantage. Rather than one-and-done training or performative cultural celebrations, organizations authentically committed to DEI are trying a different approach. This year, I've seen organizations increasingly celebrating inclusion months (along with year-round activities). The themes vary from centering on allyship to intersectionality to teaching human skills to...2023-11-1909 min

Allyship in Action224: Allyship Starts With The Most Marginalized First with Julie KratzIn diversity work, it is critical that allyship focuses on the most marginalized communities first. When we focus on issues that affect people with one dimension of diversity, we can help all marginalized communities, yet the impact is far less. When we start with an intersectional approach to allyship, we likely make it better for a larger collection of people. Starting with the most marginalized is pivotal to effective allyship as evidenced by: The curb-cut effect Challenges with centering The positive impact of inclusive language Learn more at https://www.forbes.com/sites/juliekratz and a...2023-10-2908 min

Allyship in Action221: What People Don't Understand About Affirmative Action with Julie KratzWith this summer’s SCOTUS ruling against affirmative action, it is predicted that enrollment of students of color will decline at universities, leading ultimately to declines in workforce participation. This is problematic because younger generations are increasingly more diverse. The lack of representation in the workforce creates a disconnect between the population and employment where organizations will struggle to reflect the very communities that they are trying to serve. Despite this concern, only 36% of Americans perceive affirmative action positively. There are some common misunderstandings about affirmative action that people need to understand for these perceptions to shift....2023-10-0810 min
