Square Holes with Rhonda Payne

Episode Summary

Rhonda Payne, CAE, CEO + Founder of Flock Theory, and I recap the latest 5 Things (good vibes in DEI) in just 15 minutes. This week our conversation is about Same-Sex rights in South Korea, Home Depot spending $1 Billion dollars to raise hourly employee wages, and more!

Episode Notes

Here are the good vibes I found this week:

1. The South Korean high court ruled that same-sex couples in the country are entitled to the same national health benefits as their opposite-sex counterparts.
2. Emmy Award-winning costume designer and Beyonce’s former stylist Zerina Akers partnered with Barbie to create a collection of dolls that are icons of Black culture
3. Home Depot became the latest company with a major front-line workforce to increase its minimum wage to at least $15/hour.
4. Seattle became the first U.S. city to ban caste discrimination
5. Amazon Instant Video has just become the first streaming service to use Bluetooth to connect the tv’s sound directly to the cochlear implant, making it a much better viewing experience for the person with hearing loss.
