5 Things In 15 Minutes: Good Vibes in DEI

Molly Vetter (she/her), Senior Pastor, Westwood Church, and I recap the latest 5 Things (good vibes in DEI) in just 15 minutes. Molly and I were friends at college and she was a strong and visible ally and advocate during the United Methodist Church’s recent decision to lift bans on LGBTQ+ clergy and same-sex weddings. She shared some of that story with us.

Here are this week's good vibes:

80% of Mattel Games Are Color-Blind Accessible
First-Ever Nursery at Olympics Athletes Village
Caroline’s Carts Debuting At Walmart
JPMorgan’s Second Chance Agenda is Working
NPS’s First-Ever LGBTQ Visitor Center Is Open
