LeadDev Diversity & Inclusion

November 12, 2020

These are my notes from a session on Diversity & Inclusion at LeadDev

What matters !! #

Impact matters much more than intention

• essentially not having ill intension is not sufficient
• one has to be accountable for the impact of one’s actions
• this is more significant in situations when one party has a position of privilege or authority

In such cases

• Acknowledge the mistake
• Make a committment to change
• Be accountable

Simple definitions #

• Privilege = Access
• Underrepresented = It is a matter of #s
• Marginalized = Treatment
• Inclusion != Equality
• Inclusion === Equity
• Inclusion === Experience
