Yes, but the org and its conference are very specific to my niche part of DEI.

Do you work for a law firm? Only law firm diversity professionals and members of the org can attend. It’s ALFDP.

It'll vary by industry. Adcolor is great if you're in advertising. Which industry do you work in?

I think it's really dependent on the industry you're in for sure, there are some great ones in the Insurance industry that I've been attending

I’m looking for DEI conferences

Honestly no, I haven't had any really great DEI training or conference experiences. I'm WoC and i feel like I should be on board because of course I want equality and diversity in my workplace.. but most DEI stuff I've gone to just feels so counterproductive. If we want equity shouldn't we be working to see beyond our differences?

Hello!

I am being tapped to translate documents at work. I’ve done spot translation audits, and 1 larger Quality assurance document earlier this year, but was recently contacted about a potential large-scale translation initiative for next year.

Has anyone been compensated for these sorts of projects that would be “out of scope” for their role? How do you go about asking for compensation? Have any of you spun out and created translation service side-gigs?

Feeling very frustrated right now…company talks a big game about DEI internally, while requiring new hires to move to Texas/Arizona, while the company’s PAC donates to politicians pushing extremist, regressive, anti-woman and anti-LGBT laws

In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The New Yorker released the transcript of a previously unpublished interview with James Baldwin, who gave a first-hand account of "Freedom Day 1963," a Black voter-registration drive in Selma, Alabama. Baldwin's descriptions from that day are so vivid and detailed that you can feel the fear and anger of the event. If you have a couple of minutes, I highly recommend you read it.

“I must honestly confess that I go through moments of disappointment when I have to recognize that there aren’t enough white persons in our country who are willing to cherish democratic principles over privilege. But I am grateful to God that some are left.” This quote is from MLK in 1968 about how he sensed the movement was losing the battle for the soul of the nation.
