Episode 20: Simone McNish—simonemcnish.com

Simone McNish is a Certified Diversity Practitioner, a DEIAR Consultant, a coach, an inclusive marketing strategist, and a cheeseburger aficionado.

She talks to us about individual allyship, advocacy, her work with solopreneurs and entrepreneurs to ensure their marketing is inclusive, prioritizing learning from the people who have been oppressed, and challenging ourselves to think about how we’re centering ourselves in larger conversations about inclusion.

We dig into what diversity means for individuals, companies, and large organizations. We talk about books and resources—and Simone challenges us to ask ourselves these questions: “Is it safe for all kinds of people? Does everyone belong here?”

We also talk about her favorite projects, boundaries, things she’s learned about herself over the past few years of owning her own business, entrepreneurs getting paid leave, that her current work isn’t always heavy, as well as her career history before becoming the multi-faceted entrepreneur she is now.

Simone is so grounded in who she is. You’re going to be super-inspired not only by what she does for work, but who she is.
