Intentional Conversations with Nika White Consulting And Co-Host Janelle Benjamin
Janelle Benjamin joined Dr. Nika White and her team for the latest Intentional Conversations podcast, where they discussed issues of exclusivity, how leaderes can effectively support DEI practitioners, and religious accommodations in the workplace.
Here are the Key Takeaways from this #IntentionalConversation:
1. Black women are indiscriminately terminated in a phenomenon of “pet to threat.” Often valued when showing up, but as soon as black women start voicing and speaking up on issues they believe in, it is perceived as a threat.
2. If you are an inclusive leader there is always something that needs to be relearned and listened to. If you claim to be an ally and you’re doing the work to center the voices of those marginalized, you must listen.
3. Floating holidays are a great way to promote religious diversity, allowing others with varying religious beliefs to take time away to spend the holidays that are important to them.
4. Believe in yourself. If you have a skill or talent, leverage your abilities to find ways to connect with people around what you’re doing and market it.
5. The days of unpaid labor are over, if you ask individuals to show up in a different way at work and lead an event or initiative, ask for compensation.
