Deep Dives Ahead: Season Opener with Vivian and Marjolijn
“It was a surprising conversation. It's going to be interesting to hear a different piece of our puzzle.” - Vivian Acquah
Welcome back to Season 2 of the Global Inclusion in Practice Podcast! Hosted by Vivian Acquah and Marjolijn Vlug, we're diving right into the heart of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) with fresh vigor. This opening episode looks ahead to the new season and takes notes of what's going on right now in the space of DEI.
This season is a fresh chapter of even deeper, more meaningful, and always lively discussions with an even more global array of guests, as we want to honor the word Global in the name of this podcast.
This opening episode is for you if you’re curious to get to know Vivian and Marjolijn a little bit better, too.
This isn't just a podcast; it's our collective space for connecting and growing in the DEI world. So, we have two special requests this season.
Question 1 is, can you think of one person who would be great as a guest for this podcast because of who they are, their story, what they contribute, and how they show up in DEI? We’d love to hear! For example, we haven’t had a guest from Oceania yet, so if you are, or know, someone fabulous, let us know.
Question 2 is, as you're listening to each episode ahead and perhaps even this episode, what is one thing that stands out for you? Whether that's an insight, a connection, an emotion, or a question, do share it with us or someone else.
