BEYOND DEI TO HUMAN AND CULTURAL EQUITY

 

At KDPM Equity Institute, our approach differs from traditional corporate equity models.

We seek to create change by understanding the role our own human biases play in leading change. We help cultural leaders, social impact innovators and big dreamers build and cultivate communities of care and advance emotional intelligence and psychological safety in the workplace. 

Leading with Psychological Safety and Well-Being as a mandatory skill set, we hope to inspire all cultural workers to undo the harm caused by culturally insensitive and biased equity training and seek to introduce a new cultural learning model rooted in ancestral leadership and community.
