Shifting Our Work From Diversity To Equitable Design With Aubrey Blanche

Leading With Empathy & Allyship

Melinda Briana Epler, Founder & CEO of Empovia (formerly Change Catalyst), and Aubrey Blanche, Director of Equitable Design & Impact at Culture Amp, talk about why it’s critical to think beyond diversity and representation. With a shift to equitable design, we build equity, right the power dynamics, and create greater access and support for people in our workplaces and communities who are most marginalized. The conversation covers how to build our capacity to create and lead this change.
