Ever hear the terms "diversity," "equity," or "inclusion" but aren't sure what they really
mean or how to apply them? Are you looking to contribute toward a fairer and more
equitable global working environment? Or perhaps you want to reflect on your own
privilege and become an authentic ally to those who haven't had the same opportunities as
you? Whatever your ambitions, Demanding More discusses how to infuse the spirit of diversity and
inclusion into your workplace culture.

We currently hear so much about racism, antiracism, diversity, privilege, and the treatment
of minority groups in the news or on social media that it can be easy to assume we're
all experts in this regard. However, many of us throw these terms around with little
understanding of their true meaning. Acknowledging that many people don't fully grasp
these issues, Demanding More clarifies various terms and concepts that are essential in
navigating the diversity and inclusivity landscape.

The following are some terms you should familiarize yourself with in order to cultivate an inclusive, equitable
workplace that respects and empowers every employee:
  • diversity
  • inclusion
  • privilege
  • intersectionality
  • bias
  • ally
  • allyship
