What does diversity, equity, and inclusion mean to you? How does it show up and affect you in your daily life? If you've never taken the time to answer these questions, or even if you have, you are in for a treat. Today, guest host Christina Barsi interviews attorney Sylvia Torres- Guillen, one of our amazing panelists for the upcoming Future Of Work Conference hosted by Pasadena City College. Sylvia has served as the ACLU's director of education equity as well as Governor Jerry Brown's first Latina general counsel, where she is well known for being a force for justice. We'll dive in deep on DEI and how it is now a part of the very fabric of our lives. Focusing on the actions we can take, Syliva will share how we can help give a voice to those who are voiceless. Tune in to learn how we can ALL participate to make a more equitable workforce and society.
