Happy Friday, everyone!

I have some ideas to keep our group engaged, supported, and uplifted. But I’d love to hear from you—what are you hoping to receive from this space?

For example: guest speakers, job listings, virtual happy hours, articles, etc.

I do hope this message encourages you to hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight ❤️

Latinx - help! We used this term in our diversity spotlight discussing Hispanic Heritage Month. One individual said that in English a group of Latinos would just be Latins to be gender neutral. I understand the word is controversial but is “Latins” grammatically correct? I assume we should just say Latin Americans, but trying to understand if Latins is also accurate.

General question: Is there any room in corporate America for real, actionable DE&I discussions and initiatives?

Is this just how it is?
