I am The DEI Optimist- I believe that the world is better when we know one another; not despise each other. We will grow and improve by learning more about ourselves and others. I have more than 25 years of experience with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Leadership Development. I have honed and expanded my knowledge of Diversity over the years through research, practice, professional and personal experience. I am constantly adding to my skillset around DEI through practice and training. I am diligent about increasing my awareness of DEI challenges, issues, and opportunities.

I invite you to join me on this journey. Our workbooks and trainings are available for purchase at this link: https://effebe-49.myshopify.com/
