Recently, we invited the CEO of Diversity Window Jiquanda Nelson to speak to our brokers and staff about equity and inclusion as a life work. Jiquanda shares a little bit about herself, and provides great insight about our biases and how to address them. Jiquanda has been featured on the podcast before, check it out here. 

If you have felt the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion conversation has stopped, or things aren't happening in your world, this is a great podcast to remember how much work we have to do individually and as a group. Our hope is it inspires you to keep the ball rolling, making intentional actions even when it's not the topic of national conversation (our lack of doing the work is how it constantly becomes a national conversation). 

Enjoy!
