Ep 43: Empowering conversations around DEI and neurodivergence: Deanna Singh from Uplifting Impact


Listen Later

Having a brain with executive function needs is tricky; it also connects us with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) movement. The perspective shifts associated with DEI-- inclusion and celebration of differences--benefit all of us. 

Author and speaker Deanna Singh shares her actionable and positive strategies for talking with your kids and teens about DEI. She takes away the political and negative emotions to get down to the essence of why these conversations and strategies matter. For all of us with different brains, having a welcoming space in which we can shine (and use our strategies) is huge! 

I know you'll love this uplifting and smart conversation! 

All my love,

Sarah
