This Episode talks about Neurodiversity, Gender Expansiveness & Rethinking DEI with Chris Hooten

What does real belonging at work actually look like?

In this episode of Everyday Equity, Pooja Kothari speaks with Chris Hooten, speaker and consultant focused on intersectional neurodiversity and gender equity.

They explore what it means to create neurodivergent and gender-expansive affirming workplaces, why traditional DEI efforts often fall short, and how leaders can shift from defensiveness to accountability.

From “unearned advantage” to rethinking bias and belonging, this conversation challenges surface-level inclusion and invites deeper cultural change.
