- Navigating Identity, Context, and Career with Setche Kwamu-Nana
In this episode, Lola speaks with Setche Kwamu-Nana, a seasoned DEI and racial equity consultant and trainer with over 15 years of experience working across industries and communities.
She has held impactful roles at leading organizations such as Caterpillar Inc. and Intuit Inc., as well as various nonprofits and community-based organizations. An immigrant from Cameroon with a background in engineering, Setche brings a unique perspective to her work.

- How different identity categories, such as race, nationality, socioeconomic status, and even personal interests, play a role in shaping experiences and opportunities.
- The shift in identity salience after moving from Cameroon to the U.S., where blackness became a more dominant part of personal identity.
- A unique career transition from studying chemical engineering to a successful role in DEI work and lessons learned through growing in these roles.
- The importance of following passions and finding purpose in your career.
- The vital role of diversity, equity, and inclusion work in reshaping organizational cultures.
