In this inaugural episode of On the Edge of Equity, your hosts Tammy Belton-Davis, Becky Dubin Jenkins and Dave Ratfelders share the impetus behind launching a podcast focused on diversity, equity and inclusion and what the name means to them.
What should you expect? Tough questions, raw conversations. Time spent being comfortable with discomfort. The Athena Communications team centers its work in diversity, equity and inclusion but knows that change doesn’t come without action.
This podcast is for everyone who wants to join Team Athena on their journey of creating a more inclusive world that showcases people and organizations often out of the spotlight. Tammy, Becky and Dave are thrilled to share this space with you!
Highlights:
01:32 - This is the place where team Athena and I … we live and we speak our truths. We want to be authentic, and we will invite all of us to be uncomfortable in that process.
02:10 - Understanding that difficult problems don't get resolved easily, they are not happening and they are not changing with safe and easy conversations. There has to be a willingness to be open.
07:16 - We don't want to be uncomfortable. I don't ever want to be in a space where there`s strain or pain, but I also recognize that without that natural tension we are not able to grow.
12:10 - Making yourself uncomfortable is not only a natural process, but it is necessary for success.
