Diversity, equity, inclusion and access are terms we’ve heard recently being used by companies and organizations as a way to fight against harm and appear to engage all people. But what do they actually mean and how do we trust that they’re more than just trendy buzzwords? How do they translate into hiring practices, doing more than just inviting diverse faces to the table but also embracing their ideas, culture and voices. How do these words acknowledge the neuro and ability divergent? How do we go beyond the buzzwords and embrace the discomfort that comes with real change? These are some of the many things we’ll be addressing in this two hour long lunch and learn featuring a panel of some of Omaha’s best thought leaders – Olajide Cooper, Nate Scott, Lacey Lamar, and Michael McGee – and led by Michelle Troxclair DEIA Specialist with the Benson Theatre.

Event is free and includes lunch, but registration is required. For more information and the registration link, visit https://bensontheatre.org/.
