38. Invoking the Spirit of the Salmon to Tackle Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, with Tamara Makoni

My guest this week is Tamara Makoni, Founder and CEO of Kazuri Consulting. In this episode, she discusses how: 

• Equality and equity are different – and why equity is more important for creating fair outcomes
• Discrimination often emerges unconsciously, for example through “micro-aggressions”
• Diversity and inclusion require investment of time and resources in order to make progress
• DE&I creates value for organisations and society, but this is not often quantified
• We need to learn the lessons of the salmon in order to confront social injustice
