Particularly during the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak acts of discrimination and racially charged hate crimes increased by 32% from the year prior according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) education has never been more important in our day and age; it is the unspoken-of soft skills that are necessary to succeed in the 21st century of work.Let's Talk About Diversity presents a unique go-to-guide for helping readers understand the different key themes of DEI how they play a role in various sectors and how to create a space of inclusion in each of them.
