Hey Ya’ll,

My name is Ama Agyapong, That Inclusion Lady. Welcome to That Inclusive Lens Newsletter! If you are receiving this newsletter, we have either connected on social media or at a conference! 

The newsletter is called ‘That Inclusive Lens’ because I want you to look at most things in life through an inclusive lens!  So, what can you expect from this newsletter? 

  1. A resource for you to read and ponder on. 

  2. A revelation - my opinion/teaching takeaway

  3. A reflection question(s) - a reflection and/or action item for you to journal about. The goal is #growth because Inclusion starts with “I”.

If you choose not to partake in this journey, it’s okay; please unsubscribe now. If you’re ready to create community and promote growth …  LETSSSSSS GOOOOO! 💪🏾

The Welcome is in the Work; Let’s get started!

  1. RESOURCE: 

DEI Supports Capitalism: Inclusion As A Driver Of Profitability And Innovation

  1. REVELATION:  

When you think about Inclusion within your organization, start with data and lead with passion. What does that mean? 

  • The Forbes article mentioned auditing four risk categories of your organization: Governance, Human resources, Product delivery, and Supplier diversity. Are there any areas with inclusion gaps? 

  • Now, leading with passion comes with tapping into your leader’s moral compass. Most people don’t intentionally exclude, so remember, DEI is the morally right thing to do. Organizational and social parity could be you and your boss’s leadership legacy. 

  1. REFLECTION QUESTIONS: 

Since we’re talking about capitalism,

  1. What various identities do I hold and how do those identities show up at work and in my personal life? 

  2. If I could one of those identities for better societal positioning, which one would I sell?

Love Ya’ll,

AA
