For the Latinx/Hispanic community, is often a stigmatized topic resulting in prolonged suffering in silence. This silence compounds the range of experiences that may lead to mental health conditions including immigration, acculturation, trauma, and generational conflicts. Bas reminded us that there are significant gaps in Delaware and across the country.

These days, most companies say they are committed to prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). But then when it comes to investing time and money into meaningful change management, that commitment often waivers. Most DEI practitioners say leaders at their company don’t make this work a priority – even if those same executives have made public pledges saying the opposite.

As an HR or DEI leader, making real change starts with executive buy-in. But how do you actually do that?

in the workplace is a sensitive subject that people have strong opinions about, and the actions that you take can deeply affect people’s lives. But in order to get to everyone's opinion - you are going to have to listen. Listening is going to help you get the buy-in that you need to progress the initiatives that you're passionate about.

More on that tomorrow....

The positive connections between diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace and business results have been documented for years. But examining the business benefits of diverse representation without considering equity and inclusion provides a limited picture of DEI’s true potential. Creating a fair and inclusive work environment where workers of all backgrounds can contribute and succeed is vital—even more so now that diversity is the reality of many workplaces. Today we join Dr. Herman Pryor, Self-Equity Coach at HIP Enterprise to discuss characteristics of effective DEI leadership, creating metrics for success and articulating the ROI of DEI.

Black Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS since the epidemic’s beginning, and that disparity has deepened over time. Racism, discriminations, HIV stigma, and homophobia affect the overall health and well-being of African American gay and bisexual men. Today we join Dr. Darnell Motley, Sexual Health Researcher at the University of Chicago to discuss the history of HIV/AIDS and how it shows up in Black communities, the obstacles to accessing quality care, and some of the overlap between COVID–19 and HIV as it relates to response and inequity.


26/09/2022

The CDC estimates that African Americans represent more than one-third of all people living with HIV. Rejection, historical and on-going discrimination, racism, internalized racism, judgment, and anxiety play a huge part in Black men accessing and receiving quality care and treatment. This week on Equity Matters we will hear from Dr. Darnell Motley on how HIV/AIDS can be framed as a racial justice issue, the ongoing impacts of stigma, and the future of this important research.

Have you noticed performative allyship? Where someone makes a bare minimum display of their support for marginalized communities in an effort to show they are on their side? And once a tweet or two has been shared, it’s back to business as usual. This form of empty advocacy is unproductive and disregards the need for sacrifice and work by privileged individuals. Today we join Déjà D. Rollins as she describes how performative allyship stifles progress and attempts to create real change.

Exposure to abuse, neglect, discrimination, violence, and other adverse experiences increases a person’s lifelong potential for serious health problems and engaging in high risk behaviors. As providers grow more aware of trauma’s impact, they are realizing the value of trauma-informed approaches to care. Today we join Dr. Fanike Kiara Young to discuss the key ingredients necessary for establishing a trauma-informed culture, the impacts of trauma on maternal health inequities, and coping with trauma triggers.

health disparities, including higher rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV, depression, anxiety, suicidality, to***co use, and substance use disorders, result from enacted at individual, interpersonal, social, and structural levels. An important way to reduce disparities, therefore, is for health care professionals to address their own biases on the individual and interpersonal levels. This week on Equity Matters, we will hear from Hayden Dawes, social worker and PhD student as we discuss the challenges impacting people of color and LGBTQIA individual, while seeking to advance methods to intervene on provider implicit and explicit biases.

When you look on the TV screen, sports leave you with the impression of inclusivity and diversity from the faces of the players. Still, when you venture behind the scenes, to the owner, coaches, and the actual playmakers you’ll find the sports industry is anything but diverse and inclusive.

So glad to have champions like Ashton Henderson having these difficult conversations and pursuing change.
