Empowering Change Within - The Crucial Role of Self-Work in DEI Efforts - Keisha Jones 

2024 Peralta Online Equity Conference - Day 1 - SESSION 4B
Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth with our workshop, "Empowering Change Within." In the realm of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work, the foundation for meaningful and sustainable change lies within each individual. Understanding that the foundation of fostering genuine change lies within oneself is crucial. Effectively propelling DEI efforts becomes considerably challenging without this self-awareness and commitment. This workshop sheds light on the profound impact of self-work in driving effective DEI initiatives, fostering personal growth, and catalyzing societal transformation. In this session, participants will be empowered to explore their biases, assumptions, and Emotional Intelligence.
