Fostering Inclusion at Your Nonprofit with Kia Croom Encore

In honor of Juneteenth this week, we are re-sharing Kia Croom’s episode on fostering inclusion in your organization.  

When the country shut down in March 2020, Kia Croom realized the shift to remote work also shifted justice, equity, and inclusion dynamics. Racial discrimination, racial trauma, and microaggressions didn’t go away, they just changed a little. And now they were happening in her home. 

Since then, Kia has been working to disrupt and challenge the norms that lead to lack of inclusion in the nonprofit sector. She joins us today to share why this is an essential conversation for your own nonprofit and steps leadership can take to build an inclusive organization.

This episode answers the following questions:

• How did COVID and working remotely impact justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion dynamics?
• How can I help my nonprofit be more inclusive?
• What does an inclusive organization look like?
