How are we supposed to talk about differences? If differences make a difference, how do we celebrate them in the workplace and in the community without harming one another?

What types of differences are off limits, and how do we know?

Call it what you want (DEI, JEDI, etc.), our world, our societies, just need to treat each other better. Like human beings. With so much hurt and harm, so much loss of life, it seems like the most logical answer to it all would be to humanize each other so we can see the value of people we know and strangers in other places.
In this episode, our hosts discuss why it's so hard to humanize each o...
