EP 60 - A Movement, Not a Moment: Supporting Positive Community Change in Skiing and Snowboarding
Manage episode 364159051 series 3454379
This episode delves into inclusivity in the outdoor industry. We explain that inclusivity means having a diverse range of ethnicities, genders, orientations, and perspectives, which leads to a broader perspective and more creativity. We stress that inclusivity is not simply reversing the lack of diversity by focusing solely on one group, such as creating an all-black team. Instead, inclusivity should be about creating a welcoming environment for all individuals and ensuring everyone's voices are heard. We acknowledge that the outdoor industry is not yet ready for true inclusivity, but organizations and events, such as Hoods to Woods and the Black Ski Summit, are working towards this goal. We emphasize the importance of understanding the difference between inclusivity and reverse diversity and the need for the outdoor industry to embrace true inclusivity.
