![]() Michelle Ray Executive Director Walter Kaitz Foundation | As we enter Diversity Week 2018, the national landscape is much changed. #Metoo, #TimesUp, inclusion riders, inequality in popular films and lack of inclusion in the director’s chair all leave us with a sense that progress is elusive and unattainable. But, as an optimist, I’d offer that the opposite is true. The fact that we are having these hard conversations about entrenched issues is in itself progress. The fact that a broad base of people is now included in the conversation, offering ideas, creating programs and partnering with established organizations are all leading to progress that was unthinkable a mere five years ago. |
