Episode Notes

Davey Shlasko, Founder and Director, Think Again Training & Consulting and I recap the latest 5 Things (good vibes in DEI) in just 15 minutes. This week our conversation is about lessons in love for autistic people, inclusive design at Virgin Media, pickleball in prison, standing firm on DEI—and more!

Here are this week's good vibes:

  1. Love Lessons, Autism Edition!
  2. Inclusion, Designed to the Nines!
  3. Celebrities and Companies Pledge Wildlife Support
  4. Pickleball: Serving Redemption in Prison
  5. Apple & Costco Stand Firm on DEI!

Good Vibes to Go: 

Bernadette’s GVTG: Watch ALOK’s new special (comedy and poetry) on YouTube. It’ll make you laugh and make you think!

Davey’s GVTG: Be mindful of jumping to an assumption about what level of solutions are required for any big challenge. Thinking about what I can do as an individual or what we can do as a small organization might be exactly what’s needed instead of waiting on big policy changes. 

Check out the Cross Class Dialogue Circle, which is a nonprofit community-based project that brings people together across differences of socioeconomic background and financial experiences to build relationships across those differences.
