So You Have DEI Fatigue? Here’s Why (AMA Triangle)
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is an important topic that has gained a lot of attention in recent years. However, for some individuals, the continuous discussions and efforts around DEI can be emotionally and mentally exhausting.
The AMA Triangle is excited to welcome Najauna White, VP, Diversity & Inclusion at Miles Partnership, to educate local marketers about DEI and the importance of this work. Attendees will learn how to identify signs of DEI fatigue or burnout in themselves and their colleagues. This includes behaviors such as disengagement from DEI initiatives, avoidance of difficult conversations, and feeling overwhelmed or hopeless.
This informative discussion, moderated by Misty Wilson, Founder of Dexter Lilly will provide actionable strategies for attendees to effectively manage DEI burnout. This will include tips for setting healthy boundaries, practicing self-care, and developing support networks. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore these strategies through an interactive discussion.
Join AMA Triangle on Tuesday, August 22nd from 5:30-7pm at American Underground to gain:
- A better understanding of DEI
- Increased awareness of DEI fatigue
- Practical tools for managing it
This session is ideal for individuals who are passionate about DEI work and want to ensure they can sustain their efforts over the long term.
