In this conversation, we call for a name change!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a special kind of subtle insult, often conveyed with well-meaning intent, to make someone feel seen but that unwittingly has the opposite effect. It’s called microaggression. But, that word is misleading. Microaggressions are anything but \u201cmicro\u201d. They often don\u2019t feel overtly \u201caggressive\u201d to the perpetrator or receiver. Yet, the impact on those treated as \u201cother\u201d is physical and psychological. And it is a rampant threat that thrives everywhere humans live and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Tiffany Jana, an expert in DEI and co-author of Subtle Acts Of Exclusion<\/em>, lays fresh ground for frank conversation about microaggressions. She aims to open our awareness and our potential contribution to resolving it. She helps us to see how to recognize, name, and handle microaggression because she sees a real and palpable opportunity to create organizations that \u2018weave kindness into culture\u2019 at every level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are all striving to be better stewards of an inclusive future for all as nonprofit leaders. Having open dialogue with vulnerability and humility is a step towards that goal. That is why this conversation with Dr. Jana is so immediately relevant and useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can a leader do when they experience microaggression? What should they do when they observe it? And perhaps, most importantly, how can an organization successfully adopt accountability into a culture that recognizes and handles microaggression?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the questions that Dr. Jana helps to unpack in this episode. Any leader who says they believe in a culture of inclusion and belonging and are committed to building and nurturing it in their organization will find this conversation spot on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
