The Equity Gap

Sit back with a notebook, pen and a cup of tea and listen to the thoughtprovoking, dynamic and awe-inspiring Dr. Golnaz Golnaraghi (she/her) talk about workplace saviorism and how we can inspire a paradigm shift in traditional workplace cultures to move beyond trying to fix Black, Indigenous and racialized people to amplifying our talents and standing in solidarity with us.
