5 Things / Embedded

Happy New Year! I hope you're energized and optimistic about 2022. I am. I'm excited to continue supporting our clients towards increasingly big wins and continue sharing stories of what's going right in DEI. As always, please reply and share some of the stories that inspire you.


The first story I read this year that made me stop and think, "Wow, that's so cool!" is about a new hotel in Orlando that was designed with DEI in mind. The Lake Nona Wave Hotel stocks over 200 beverage brands supporting female, black and LGBTQ-owned businesses, offers size-inclusive bathrobes, and has a library of 100+ curated children’s DEIA-focused books which can be read aloud via an in-room tablet.

And yet, these programs aren't promoted on the hotel's website. They just are. DEI is embedded.

That's what's going to be necessary, making inclusion the default...in case you missed it, the new U.S. Census reported there's no majority racial or ethnic group for those under 18. It's time to get to work.


Here are the other good vibes I found this week:
