Jennifer Brown's personal diversity story isn't obvious at a glance. A blond, white woman, she admits people are often confused to find out she's the diversity & inclusion keynote for the day and they wonder why she was hired to speak about the challenges people of colour or other visible minorities have in the workplace. As a member of the LGBTQ community, Jennifer says she separated her true self from her work until she couldn't anymore.

Jennifer believes everyone has a diversity story - for some it's visible, for others it's more hidden like socio-economic disadvantage, or mental illness or even a physical disability. Today's episode is your opportunity to learn from one of North America's leading diversity & inclusion speakers and thinkers about how important it is for all of us to bring our whole selves to work.
