Brown Table Talks With Mita Mallick

I could not think of a better person to end this summer with than Mita Mallick. Mita is a DEI leader, the host of Brown Table Talk on LInkedin, and a Linkedin Top Voice.

We talk about having our names mispronounced our entire lives, the horrific bullying she faced growing up in a predominately white neighborhood, how that has affected her personal and professional journey, and how she finally embraced being Indian-American.

She talks about the challenges shaping minds in a corporate setting as a DEI leader, the importance of impact vs. intent, why the real training of DEI initiatives starts at home, her own toxic work experience and why having an immigrant mentality stopped her from walking out, and her transition to becoming one of Linkedin Top Voices and sharing Brown experiences.

She shares a time she's experienced immense heartbreak, who she would like to collaborate with on her podcast, Brown Table Talk, and why it's so awkward to make new friends as adults (hint, you may need some drinks to help out).
