Martine Kalaw discussed: Why she chose the title ABCs of Diversity, as it is intended to be a primer to support managers and HR in understanding and navigating the conversation around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. How the media's introduction of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with academic jargon has caused people to be scared of saying the wrong thing and not engage in the conversation. She encourages people to instead focus on learning, listening, understanding, validating, and evolving.
