Diversity, equity and inclusion on social media (Savvy Social podcast interview)

One of the things we've all had the chance to both watch and experience lately is how to practice diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) on social media. Some companies have been doing it well... others, not so much.

I recently got the chance to speak with social media strategist Andréa Jones about how to share on social media with transparency and accountability so as to lower the cost of speaking up and create safety within our communities. Although Andréa's podcast speaks mostly to digital business owners, the conversation we had can be applied to any business or organization.

Memorable Quotes:

• “When we’re talking about systems of oppression, we’re not just talking about what’s visible but about what’s invisible…”

• “Inclusion is really where everyone feels not just that they belong, but they really feel valued for the uniqueness they bring to the table.”

• “I do believe the work has to start with ourselves and looking at what assumptions we’re making, about who we’re talking to, who’s even in our social networks, what voices we’re hearing, what perspectives we’re hearing, what media we are consuming…”

• “Speak from your own healing while also centering on the most impacted.”

• “It really centers on actually not trying to educate or convince someone but really speaking for yourself.”
