53. From Talk to Action: Building an Inclusive Future with Diversity and Equity
05/31/23 • 46 min
In today's FIERCE Mother's podcast episode, Ugochi talks to Malobi Achike.
Malobi is an attorney and ardent diversity, equity, and inclusion ambassador. She is passionate about working with organizations to usher in changes that sustainably impact the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts. This passion led Malobi to launch her own Tech startup, DEI Directive. DEI Directive helps organizations take the guesswork out of the DEI management process by giving them real-time and comprehensive access to DEI data to manage and drive results at the organization effectively. Before her role as the Founder and CEO of DEI Directive, Malobi spent over 15 years working in corporate legal tech and private practice spaces. She also has excellent business experience in the African and Asian markets. She is a problem solver through and through and enjoys connecting people to solutions and resources.
Malobi has been quoted as saying, "Diversity is a business imperative. After all, we get closer to excellent output when more have a seat at the table with full access to participate, and their contributions are, in turn, welcomed and accepted."
In this episode, Malobi explains the Importance of DEI in fostering a fair and inclusive society, the difference between equity and equality, and examines the role of intersectionality in achieving true inclusivity.
Malobi ended this critical discussion with a call to action to get involved and promote equity, challenging harmful stereotypes in our spheres of influence.
