Introducing a new podcast from The Diversity Movement - If You Only Knew…with Dr Debby Stroman.

Dr Debby has partnered with The Diversity Movement to bring her expertise in race and sports. She’s a professor, an entrepreneur, an activist, a phenomenal host, and we’re proud to have her on The Diversity Movement team.

On If You Only Knew, you can listen to Dr Debby’s interviews with some of the most influential people at the intersection of race and sports – attorney and agent Felicia Hall Allen, grassroots basketball legend Gary Charles, the ACC’s Mary McElroy, LSU women’s basketball head coach Nikki Fargas, and Depaul men’s basketball head coach Dave Leitao. These episodes will touch on social unrest, the challenges of minority athletes, activism, and what we can all do to be a part of the solution.

And in this episode, we learn more about Dr Debby, as she asked on one of her former students, Bucky Brooks from the NFL Network, to interview her so we can hear more about her mission and why she’s starting this podcast.

What is a Virtual Privilege Walk?

On August 27th, 2020, Jackie Ferguson, host of this podcast and head of content at The Diversity Movement, hosted a virtual privilege walk which had such an impact on the almost 150 attendees, and on the panelists as well.

On this episode, Jackie explains what a privilege walk is and we share a small sample of the experience from that day. Briefly, Jackie asked 41 questions based on privilege, and here we’re sharing just a few of those. And then after the walk, 4 panelists came on to talk about their scores and experiences with privilege throughout their lives. So if you’re listening to this, and you’d like to schedule a virtual walk for your company or team, be sure to contact TheDiversityMovement.com.

Diversity Beyond the Checkbox is presented by The Diversity Movement and hosted by Jackie Ferguson. For more information including the online course, head over to TheDiversityMovement.com. Podcast production by Earfluence.

Geoffrey Moore: Connect with a Diverse World or Become Marginal

Kurt Merriweather, who’s the head of product and partnerships at The Diversity Movement, had a chance to talk with renowned author, professor, investor, and management consultant Geoffrey Moore about how diversity and technology has changed the way we do business in 2020.

Geoffrey isn’t exactly who you would picture to be a champion for diversity, equity and inclusion, but as an organizational theorist, he knows, “You need to connect with a diverse world in order to be successful. If we can't find ways to connect our enterprise to it, then we're going to be marginal.”

Geoffrey's books including Zone to Win.
