Flock 2023

Diversity, equity, and inclusion has now been identified as a priority by many communties and companies. However, creating a DEI framework that is relevant to a global community can be challenging, particularly because of regional differences in how inequity shows up. I will review ways that all organizations can frame DEI that will be relevant to all audiences while also addressing how to balance the need to understand specific historical contexts that contribute to global understanding. Universal to implementing DEI effectively is making sure that communities are equipped with what they need to enable success. I am the current chair of the Asian Network at Red Hat, a DEI community that scopes globally, and I collaborate regularly with our DEI efforts at Red Hat.
