DEI & the Bottom LineIn this episode, herdacious host Lorelei chats with Michelle Bogan about the benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion on the bottom line. Increased employee retention, higher work productivity, creative problem-solving, and a 3% increase in company revenue are all only a handful of possibilities when we put diversity at the forefront. Trust us, Michelle has the data to back it up! As one of few women in her former workplace, Michelle shares her personal experiences and knowledge to help us envision how well-planned DEI initiatives can transform workplaces for the better and uplift all employees. From focusing on the whole picture when crafting a DEI plan to ensuring leadership is aligned, Michelle reinforces that DEI is not just a box for companies to mindlessly check off. It's a tried and true solution that both advances opportunity for underrepresented groups and optimizes overall organizational functioning. Host: Lorelei GonzalezCo-host: Michelle BoganMichelle's mission is to help companies create equitable workplaces.

Chris and Jesse are joined by Anneliese Bruner. Anneliese is the great granddaughter of Mary E. Jones Parrish, a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. Bruner's great grandmother wrote an account of what she and others experienced during this devastating time in Tulsa, and her writings have been passed down through generations, and into Bruner's hands. In our conversation, Bruner discussed her level of shock when she was given the book by her father, and she discusses her first experience in Tulsa during the centennial commemoration of Tulsa Race Massacre. We also discuss the importance of primary document historical research, and how the severity of the massacre has been white washed over the years.  The Nation Must Awake: My Witness to the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 by Mary E.
