Through experience, observations, and empirical research in the field, I learned that advancing racial equity requires the integration of reflexivity, social identities, leadership competencies, and organizational dynamics in transforming workplace cultures. My work centers the experiences of people from diverse, marginalized, and underrepresented racial backgrounds. I look forward to co-creating actionable strategies to overcome institutional barriers to the infusion of race consciousness in diversity management.
