Transforming Corporate Leadership with The Queer Jedi
On this episode of The Blacklist, we interview Jen Self, the Queer Jedi, who has been working with queer and trans youth for over 20 years. She talks about the importance of centering anti-racism in queer work and how they helps leaders change the cultures of their organizations to put equity into every single thing they do. Join us as we explore the power of diversity in the workplace and how it can lead to better problem-solving and decision-making.
