Ep. 39 - Everyone Needs A Place to Belong

This week, I am joined by Lola Adeyemo

Lola is the founder and CEO of EQImindset (EQI is from Equity and Inclusion). Her work focuses on building inclusion from within corporate organizations primarily at the individual and people manager/team levels. As a certified diversity, equity & inclusion professional, she leverages her experiences as a Scientist and with different Employee Resource Groups (ERG) within different functions to tell stories through speaking. She also designs and facilitates custom workshops and strategy sessions for formal business teams and Informal teams such as Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). 

 

Lola and I spend some time talking about her background as a scientist and how she has transitioned into the work that she is currently doing, how her story as an immigrant informs the work she does with organizations, and her book “Immigrant Women In Corporate America” that is scheduled to drop soon.
