Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: A Nuanced Approach with Myesha Reynolds

Cylinder Radio

In this episode, Will speaks with Myesha Reynolds, an equity consultant who founded Equity Lens Consultants. Myesha’s goal is to shift the current narrative around equity in a way that makes it more nuanced and approachable for everyone and that no longer causes division between people.

Myesha and Will speak about why her approach differs from most other DEI programs, why Myesha insists on not being “oppressed”, how she managed to arrive at this kind of mindset and what she does to cope with people who try to call her a “race traitor”. Will and Myesha also speak about the impact that the woke mindset can have on your life, your career and what we can do to move forward towards a more unifying and nuanced narrative.
