How to weave Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (JEDI) into your leadership

How to weave Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (JEDI) into your leadership practices
We all know that Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion matter – but how can you put them into practice? What does it mean to make them part of how you operate as a leader? Even more importantly: How can you make sure you're hearing the hard truths? And how can you make sure you're learning without putting more work on the people in your team who are from marginalized groups?

To learn how to do this, we'll be hearing from Joy Dixon (Black Venture Institute Fellow, BLCK VC and Founder & CEO, Mosaic Presence; previously a Senior Manager at Salesforce). Joy moved into engineering management in part because of frustration that the JEDI issues she'd faced in her career were still impacting the next generation of developers that she was mentoring. She'll speak to how she put JEDI practices into place at Salesforce and how startups can take action, even with the limited time and resources that early-stage companies have. We're looking forward to an open and honest conversation with Joy!
