Ep 19: Watch Your Mouth! Why language matters with Christina Parl‪e

This week in the diner I'm kickin' it with my friend, language enthusiast, and DEI speaker - Christina Parle. She hails from Kansas City, so you know we spent the opener expressing our love of BBQ. From there we jumped into learning about Christina's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work she does with organizations, and she takes the time to explain the language foundation that is necessary before diving into larger concepts within DEI. We then talked a lot about identity development, growing up biracial, and an early appreciation for language and the balance between intent and impact. Then we rounded things out with a conversation about accountability. This conversation was so dope and filled with so many nuggets of wisdom and insight.
