Welcome to Strive's Conversations on DE&I
Strive's Conversations on DE&I are intimate, authentic, and honest conversations curated by Strive and hosted by DE&I experts about how we can support POCs and be strong allies in this difficult period.
Conversations on DE&I
As a diverse organization that's been largely committed to empowering underrepresented groups in the workplace, these last few weeks we've mourned with balled fists and broken hearts as police brutality and racial hostility have dominated our streets, our airwaves, and our feeds. We're hosting a series of conversations on DE&I for business leaders to discuss these important challenges, their organizational impact, and tools to navigate.
