Leslie Wetzonis Woolverton: I have lived my entire life drawn to all aspects of DEI, even before it was given a clean, contemporary title. Diversity work encompasses an endless cycle of emotions - joy, acceptance, empathy, resistance, trauma and pain. Becoming aware of this can fundamentally lead us back to joy- certainly to growth- as we move towards greater love, honor, and  acceptance for us all. Our selfless work together must happen in order to bring real change in our world and allow our true humanity to blossom. Our work supporting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice is for all of us. By actively seeking conversations that develop courageous spaces, we can build hope and interest for us all. By sharing our stories and lived experiences, with active listening, we can establish and build trust.
