50/50 Leadership To Host "Decoding Diversity" Trainings

PASADENA, Calif. - Sept. 5, 2020 - PRLog -- 50/50 Leadership to host the first of two virtual workshop on Friday, October 9th, 12- 1:30 PM PST. Dr. Hanna Song will help clarify some relevant terms around diversity, inclusion, equity, microaggressions, unconscious bias, privilege,and social justice as well as answer some burning questions:

• What are the barriers to creating a diverse and representative  organization?
• What can we do as members of organizations and communities to mitigate our biases, and create systems where all can thrive and achieve excellence?
• How do we rethink policies, protocols and initiatives to be inclusive, equitable and guided by social justice?

Part One of the two-part event will provide definitions used in diversity, equity,
and inclusion. Developing cultural competencies when discussing the nuances of increasing
diversity and creating a sustainable culture of inclusion is fundamental. Part Two will then
take a deeper dive into systemic racism and how organizations can actively serve as part of
a solution on November 20th.

"As an organization, 50/50 Leadership is working meticulously at every level, to be the systemic change we wish to see in the world, and to create the policies, protocols and procedures that make this a lived reality. Dr. Song's important work makes this systemic change accessible for organizations genuinely invested in social justice."  – Ria Severance, LMFT, 50/50 Board Member & Diversity Chair
