Decentering Whiteness: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice With Dr. Janice Gassam Asare

Have you ever felt that a workplace policy, which was widely accepted by everyone around you, wasn't very inclusive of cultural, ethnic, religious, or gender differences?


Many of these policies seem neutral on the surface. Yet, if you look a little deeper and learn more about others, you'll see how they can be unfair to certain people and groups.


In this episode, the wise and inspiring Dr. Janice Gassam Asare joins us to discuss diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in the workplace, educate us about the concept of decentering whiteness, share actionable anti-racism tips, and more. Dr. Gassam Asare is a DEIJ Consultant, 2x TEDx Speaker, a Best-selling Author of 3 books, and a LinkedIn Top Voice. She’s passionate about helping workplaces become anti-racist. In her latest book, "Decentering Whiteness in the Workplace," Dr. Gassam Asare teaches us how to identify and rectify the systemic, and often unconscious, centering of white culture and values in the workplace.


Throughout our conversation, you'll learn about diversity, equity, and inclusion, with a focus on anti-racism in the workplace and what you can do to make a difference and create change. You'll also hear about Dr. Gassam Asare's latest book, what decentering whiteness means, and her thoughts on whiteness as a system that affects white people negatively as well as people of color.


Additionally, we discuss microaggressions in the workplace, how to make hiring processes more equitable, diverse, and inclusive, and much more.


Tune in and listen to Episode 19 of Growth & Gratitude, and help your workplace become anti-racist, more inclusive, and diverse.
