Key Discussion Points:
01:00 Recognizing the Value of DEI: DEI affects every aspect of a business, from the brand and the people within the organization to people externally and brands wanting to partner with the organization.

08:18 The Value of an Expert to Assist with DEI Work: DEI shouldn’t be assigned as a side project to the only woman or person of color on the team.
09:40 The Need for Anti-Racism: It’s not enough to be “not racist,” you have to take action to be anti-racist.
In Summary: Mary emphasizes the importance of cultural humility, racial equity, and social impact within organizations. She encourages us to be anti-racist through action, commitment, education, and learning.
