Let’s Talk DEI by Evan Moss
using conversation to diminish the barriers that segment society.
My name is Evan Moss, and I take a different approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion work. I do not preach right and wrong. I rarely suggest books and I will not prescribe fancy techniques. I do not place blame or suggest guilt. Instead, I focus on the belief that experiencing joy and perceiving life’s beauty are skills. Learning to connect with with dissimilar people opens you to experiencing more of life’s wonder.
“It’s hard to be what you cannot see” is a commonly-used phrase exemplifying the importance of representation. “It’s hard to say the words you have never heard” is my way of exemplifying the importance of conversation. The mission of Let’s Talk is to have the conversations that give participants the words they need to connect with the world and its issues.
Let’s Talk. My focus is typically on anti-racism because race is the aspect of my identity that has been attacked the. most. My philosophies and practices can be applied to whatever form of social “ism” you care about.
