About This Webinar

Join us for a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) webinar, where participants can expect to be challenged in exploring the crucial facets of equity and inclusion in all spaces. Ronnie will delve into the principles of equity, practicing diversity, and the importance of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Whether you're a seasoned DEI advocate or just beginning your journey, this is an opportunity to do the personal work of reflection to take action and drive meaningful change around you. Our speaker will address the need to inventory your own worldview, analyze the environments you are part of, take responsibility, and practice ownership in DEI.
