ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race)
Protecting DEI: Standing Strong in Challenging Times
This month’s A.C.T.O.R. discussion explores how we can uphold and continue to integrate the core values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into our communities and workplaces, given the current vicious attack by political extremists.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are facing unwarranted pushback—but that doesn’t mean we back down. So, how do we keep these values alive? How do we move forward when political extremists and corporate cowards are trying to drag us back?
Join us for a candid and thought-provoking discussion with experts who have been on the frontlines of DEI work. They’ll share insights, real-world strategies, and ways we can all take action to protect the progress we’ve made.
our panelists:
Sukari Pinnock-Fitts – DEI expert, organizational development professional, and leadership coach
Dr. Ed Hasan – Diversity strategist, inclusive leadership consultant, and host of the Sumud Podcast
Rae Wallis – Equity advocate, skilled facilitator, and champion for belonging

A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) is a public discussion series. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race, class and culture. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action!
On the last Sunday of each month, there is a new topic for discussion
