Diversity Through Empathy, Respect, and Real Conversations with Elaine Chukan Brown


Listen Later

Diversity has become a hot topic, but there is little guidance on how to practice it. Elaine Arnaqiaq Chukan Brown is a writer, speaker, and educator specializing in wine, personal empowerment, and social justice. 

She speaks about her experience navigating culture clashes between her Native background in a mostly Caucasian education system and how that impacted her ability to listen actively and empathize.

In today's episode, we cover

  • Uncomfortable Conversations
  • Talking to people with diverse backgrounds
  • How diversity supports the growth of a business
  • What success looks like
  • How anyone can invite more diversity into the workplace
  • How diversity is more than skin color and gender
  • The power of diverse professional backgrounds
  • Creating space for those who challenged diversity in the past to create change
  • Respect

We also talk about Elaine's journey into the wine industry in an unconventional way, and how bunnies can be the best source of inspiration
