This podcast was not an easy conversation to have. But I’m honored and appreciative to have an opportunity to share my perspective.
This story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in every aspect of our lives, especially education. It’s about ensuring that every individual feels seen, heard, and valued for who they are. It’s about creating environments where discussions about race and diversity are not just welcomed but encouraged, fostering a culture of understanding and empathy from a young age.
As professionals, we have the power to influence change within our spheres. By championing DEI initiatives, we can help pave the way for a more inclusive future, where no one has to feel isolated or misunderstood because of their background. Let’s commit to being part of the solution, promoting diversity and inclusion not just as concepts, but as core values that enrich our communities and workplaces.
How are you showing up each day?
Are you taking the bold steps to include someone who may not look like you or sound like you into the conversation?
Are you willing to sponsor and adocate for someone who may be different from you?

“I had to go to a school that was predominantly white, and it was a handful of us minorities and I was the only black kid in the class. as a child you don’t know if it’s because it’s just a new school. That point of reference of colour and race was just not part of the conversation.”
The latest Race in STEM podcast saw our global community manager Steven Fuller catch up with Netra Macon, PHR, M.S., an HR professional within the life sciences healthcare sector, based in New York.
Hear more about Netra’s remarkable personal journey – one where she’s learned that we should avoid putting each other in boxes, and appreciate that we all show up in different ways before we can have effective discussions about culture and people.
