  • Summary

  • The human inclusive podcast curates stories of diverse populations while amplifying voices of marginalized communities. We also take a peek into the lives of our allies as they share their experiences in an effort to help communities build empathy and compassion for coexistence. Hear about the stigmas and the challenges that need to be addressed. We evaluate systemic issues in the workplace that affect disadvantaged or underserved communities and extract learnings that can be used to better include communities outside of your own. Join us as we learn how each of us can be a part of the change we want to see. We are human inclusive.

    We Want to See Progress! How did they get their diversity initiatives started?
    Jun 13 2019
    And we’re back! We’ve been behind the scenes producing more exciting interviews to share with you to dive into conversations about neurodiversities, learnings and best practices from folks who are making big changes with organizations to be more inclusive sexual harassment, and so.much.more! Each of the upcoming releases we are sharing new and different styles of recording from live recordings to video podcasts. We cannot wait to share all of these with you!In this episode, we recorded a live panel discussion at Mile High Agile in Denver, Colorado on May 29th with panelists Mo Abdullah — CEO and Founder of Culture Energized, Natalie Bonifede — Global Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Pivotal Software, and Lauren Burgess — CEO and Founder of Garden, Inc and Dirt Coffee. We kick off the discussion with an Energizer led by Mo. You won’t hear that in this recording, but to give you some insight into how we all jumped into the discussion, Mo had everyone stand up and enter the space in the center of the room. She led us through a few exercises to get our blood pumping where we walked around the room doing a little movement that she called the “peanut butter jelly” until she called out to “find a partner.” With our partners we high five’d and booty-bumped before kicking off mini discussions based on prompts she gave us about our awareness level and understandings of diversity and inclusion.

  • Race, gender, and a two-year job search

    Race, gender, and a two-year job search
    Mar 7 2019

    “I’m not a junior, I’m not entry level. I’m a black woman in tech. I need these accolades to compete.” In this episode of Human Inclusive, Christopher Guest and Lia James explore the story of Dede Tetsubayashi, a senior Product Manager with a background in Computer Science and Anthropology who faced a two-year job search. With help from two experts, Dr. Tiffany Jana and Dr. Deborah Egerton, we dig into the barriers in Dede’s job search before she landed in her role at WeWork. We want to understand why she faced so many roadblocks during this time. What happened that caused her search to extend the span of most Silicon Valley techies’ tenure at any of the giant tech companies.

    With the help of our guest experts we discuss intersectionality, gender, race and the impact of conscious as well as unconscious biases.

    There have been several studies over the last century which show the stereotypes behind an assumed intelligence of blacks compared to whites. A report from 2018 by Dupree and Fiske eludes that unconscious bias and microaggressions build upon these low-competence stereotypes perpetuated by white groups.

    Research by the Kapor Center shows that in Silicon Valley, men constitute 70% of the workforce, Asian and White women comprise a combined 26% of the professional workforce, while Black, Latinx, and Native American/Alaskan Native women each constitute 2% or less.

    It goes further to say that among all women employed in computer and information science occupations, 56% are white women, 32% are Asian women, 7% are Black women and 5% are Latinx women.

    While women currently make up roughly half of the overall workforce, they are just 35% of the technology workforce. Women of color currently constitute 18% of the overall population, but 39% of the female-identified population in the United States - and by 2060 women of color will comprise the majority.
