IIP116 How to Find, Select&Outsource DEI Work to Support Your Inclusion Goals - a podcast by Kay Fabella

On the next few episodes of the Inclusion in Progress podcast, we’re sharing examples of the types of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work we’ve done with client partners. 

 

In today’s episode, we’re speaking with Regina Lawless, former DEI Head of Instagram and Founder of Bossy & Blissful. Regina has led multiple diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives to advance underrepresented talent, particularly in the tech industry. We were fortunate to partner with her during her time at Instagram and Meta before she started her own venture to empower professional women of color to create lives on their own terms.

 

In our conversation, we discuss:

 

• How Regina first got into DEI work and how she’s watched the industry evolve during her years working in corporate companies like Micron, Instagram and more

• How it was like to partner with us at Inclusion in Progress during the pandemic, and why she encourages employers to consider outsourcing their DEI work to support their in-house teams

• Why the work of building equitable, inclusive workplaces is ongoing — and her advice to other DEI professionals and folks from underrepresented groups
