Over the last year, many organizations have grappled with Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in new ways – by establishing task forces, updating their strategic plans, or launching fresh initiatives – all designed to address institutional barriers that impact Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and other marginalized communities. Too rarely do we ask employees and leaders directly impacted by EDI initiatives about their experiences.

Join Imagine LA, moderator Charmaine Utz of Living Unapologetically, and panelists from various sectors and staff levels for a thoughtful conversation about their personal experiences of their workplace’s EDI initiatives, effective practices they’ve seen implemented, and the lessons we can learn from them.

Moderator: Charmaine Utz, LCSW, Founder & CEO, Living Unapologetically

Host: Jill Govan Bauman, President & CEO, Imagine LA
