Our team had the amazing opportunity to hear from Lola Adeyemo, inclusive workplace advocate, TEDx speaker and ERG expert consultant, last week at our San Diego headquarters. ⭐️

Lola led an inspiring conversation on intersectionality, and presented our team with unique insights into how intersectionality and allyship are essential for fostering a truly inclusive workplace.

Through her company EQImindset, she partners with HR, DEI, and people operation leaders to build new communities and leverage existing communities to achieve business success.

Thank you to our employee-led Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee and to Lucy Sardo and Aidan Gresham, our Business Insights & Analytics Interns, Alison Hale, our Learning & Development Intern, and Mandy Cao, our Human Resources Intern, for helping organize the event.
