Conversity: Changing the Conversation on Race
(keynote or workshop)
Diversity training and programs haven’t taken us where we need to be. After decades of effort, it’s time to realize that diversity is merely the journey; conversity is the goal.
The very name itself spells out the problem: diversity is related to words like “divide” and “different”.
Conversity on the other hand, is related to words like “connect” and “communicate”. It carries with it the idea of understanding to bring together. At a time when our nation is more divided than ever along racial lines, it is a message that is desperately needed.
