My guest today is Gloria Tabi, the CEO and Equity & Inclusion Consultant for Everyday Inclusion, based in Sydney, Australia. Originally from Ghana, Gloria has spent nearly 30 years working in research, project management, employment services, and coaching. She has authored the book, “Inclusive Teams & Workplaces: Everyone Wins,” and is the Founder and host of the “Voice Everyday Racism” podcast.
Gloria joins us today to discuss how Everyday Inclusion is a one-stop shop where organizations can come to work on changing to become more inclusive. Businesses must truly understand systemic racism in order to create real change and foster inclusion, not simply check the boxes and celebrate inclusion with one special day every year.
Join us as we discuss Gloria’s sometimes painful personal experiences with racism, and the steps that leaders (and all of us) need to take to make inclusion part of their organization’s mission.

Finally had the time to listen to this
Thanks both
One aspect not mentioned is the challenge (now) of taking up the collective? And ongoing work of bringing about systemic change within the existing imperatives of individual responsibility-think neoliberal policies- and the ‘push’ to achieve measurable, translatable outcomes. Will be listening for your proposed ‘root cause’ conversation
