Introduction to DEI
You may be new to DEI discourse, or early in your journey of self-reflection and processing through a critical equity lens. Getting started with entering critical conversations regarding health and social inequities can be overwhelming. You're committed to doing no harm, but there are so many sensitive and harmful terms and triggers to be aware of. It can be hard to know where to start. 

DEI Fundamentals
You are thoughtful about how you show up and not perpetuating harm or bias, and with a busy schedule, try to engage in learning more. You likely review DEI-related content online when available, listen to podcasts, or have conversations with those who are trusted and comfortable, regarding these issues, but don't consistently speak up or interrupt bias.

Engaged & Collaborating
Whether through lived experience and/or dedicated learning, you have sought to have a fundamental equity awareness that you put into practice often. You engage in open and critical dialogues about these issues, and truly desire to take meaningful action to sustain internal and institutional change to promote and achieve equity. You lean into opportunities to engage, and that is amazing!

Leading Teams & Institutions
You are consistently engaged in DEI discourse and decision-making spaces, and looked to (or leveraged) as a voice or leader in the work. This is often a tremendous lift, driven by passion and the call for equity and justice, yet offered limited institutional and financial investment

Some words from our clients

As a participant in racial caucusing, I am learning so much!! The pre-recorded lectures and readings are extremely informative and thought provoking. The way Dr. Washington has laid out the curriculum is effective, digestible, and engaging. The discussions within each group are honest, open, and welcoming. So happy to be a part of this effort in our department. I am able to share my knowledge with my friends and family, spreading this important information to all!!

"I felt that I had a somewhat developed racial literacy, which I quickly realized was not as developed as I'd hoped it to be (which was a good experience-to be able to quickly recognize my growth curve, where I was *actually* starting). Before the training I would often stumble through discussions about race but sometimes couldn't identify why that was. I feel like now I have a really good framework to go back to to help myself understand the whys and hows of my racial identity....."
Nursing Faculty 
"It has made me more thoughtful about my interactions with my BIPOC colleagues and recognize the many missed opportunities I've had over the years to practice/embody allyship. For so long I didn't feel like I necessarily needed to be part of discussions on diversity within the department and I recognize now that I absolutely must be part of that work."
