Since the 2020 pseudo-white awakening to the realities of racial injustice following the killing of George Floyd, companies, organizations, and communities alike have been urgently (and performatively) working to make their spaces less white-dominated and more racially diverse.

The idea is that if more Black, Latine, and Indigenous people of color are represented in a space then *poof* social change has been achieved!

But in reality, diversity doesn’t always correlate with safety.

What happens when we strive to make a space more diverse but we use diversity and inclusion strategies as a:

• band-aid for systemic inequity issues
• way to appease marginalized folks or
• means to appear less racist or oppressive

without considering whether folks will actually be protected from the harmful impacts of oppression?

In this episode, you will learn about the problems with focusing on diversity, how you can start shifting towards a restorative justice framework that considers deeper questions, and three ways you can begin cultivating true safety in your communities of influence.

If you want help advancing justice in your own communities of influence without relying on performative diversity efforts, I'd love to support you in this work through my 1:1 consulting program Activate Your Advocacy Academy.

Together we can get clear on what it means to create safe & equitable conditions in any community space where you're a member & what your unique role is in this work.
