011 Camille Leak: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Embracing Differences, Discomfort, and Curiosity

I am thrilled to share this enriching episode with my amazing guest, Camille Leak.

Camille (she/her) is a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Practitioner & Educator, Somatic Practitioner, Trauma-Informed Learning & Development Facilitator, Truth Teller, and Storyteller.

Camille often says: “I'm not doing my job if I don't do two things: 1) tell you how DEI impacts your bottom line, e.g., how it makes you money, drives growth, or increases relevancy and 2) make you really uncomfortable; being uncomfortable is the only way you know you are doing DEI right.”

Via her practice, Real Talk & Brave Spaces, she provides group facilitation, workshops, and one-on-one coaching on a variety of DEI topics, cultivating spaces where individuals and groups can fearlessly confront the most uncomfortable elements of DEI.

Additionally, Camille is the Community Manager of Holistic Life Navigation, a company and community that serves to support people as they release stress and trauma by listening to their bodies.

During our time together, Camille shares:

• Her personal journey into the DEI space
• The importance of acknowledging and leaning into our differences, embracing discomfort and curiosity on our diversity and inclusion journeys
• The role our personal experiences with marginalization and trauma can have in navigating DEI conversations
• Understanding the differences between biases, privilege & discrimination in facilitating brave conversations
• The impact generational wisdom can have on our identities
• Exploring body awareness as part of an individual's healing journey

I hope the conversation with Camille inspires you to approach Diversity, Equity & Inclusion with an open heart and curious mind, finding new ways to make a positive impact in your life and the lives of others.
