Where is the Latiné Experience in DEI ft. Cristina Padilla

In this episode of the Living Out Loud Discussion Series, I sit down with Cristina Padilla to chat about the underrepresented Latiné experience in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work. We explore complex themes like humility, conflict resolution, and the impact of cultural nuances on leadership. We get into why the Latiné voice is often missing in DEI spaces and Cristina provides insights into broader challenges. Join our conversation!
