If you’re risk-averse, you’ll never have a diverse leadership team

At the end of August 2021, I tweeted a story about an experience with bias that impacted my career. It resonated more than I expected with thousands of people across Twitter and LinkedIn. In case I decide to delete those tweets later, I’ll recap my story here and share some ways I’ve held myself — and leadership at various employers — accountable for diversifying our workforce at all levels. I hope this can be a call to action for those who know the value of diversity but aren’t sure how to move forward.
