equity and inclusion

A new ordinance under consideration by the Boston City Council would aim to center equity and inclusion in the work that the council and the rest of the city does in municipal governance.

Despite decades of research and multiple studies documenting the benefits, people continue to push back against diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at public and private institutions.

Dani Monroe, founder and CEO of Center Focus International, Inc., is a pioneer in corporate inclusion, mentored By Dr. Price Cobbs, whom she calls the “godfather of DEI.” 

Colette Phillips envisions a model for diversity, equity and inclusion that does not leave out white men. “If we’re talking about inclusion, no one should be excluded from the conversation,” said Phillips.
