Navigating Control and Resilience in the Fight for Equity

Equality, diversity and inclusion are often seen as political issues, but at their heart this is the essence of life and the vitality of how people can live well alongside one another. Right now, in many places, these values are being rapidly dismantled and reframed as threats rather than essentials. Which contradicts everything we know about healthy ecosystems which rely on diversity and inclusion as a foundation for healthy thriving.

In this week's podcast we explore why EDI matters, what happens when fear drives policy and how we can protect the beauty and essential need for diversity and difference in a world that feels increasingly divided. During the conversation, we reference the following:

• The Danger of a Single Story - Chimamanda Adiche (Ted Talk video)
