We’re diving straight into real talk with Alexandria Dunn, Former Management Consultant at CCC Intelligent Solutions. After speaking out in support of Palestine, she was fired from her position in October. This provoked her thought process on her organization as a whole in relation to the importance of language, clarity, racism and discrimination while advocating for DEI within the corporate landscape. Together, Alexandria and host, Kim Clark, highlight the significance of persistent communication, the disconnect between leadership and employees on the ground level and conveying messages that bring about cultural change. Not only do they tackle authentic communication during social crises, but Alexandria’s personal journey advocating for change. Alexandria’s story is a lesson for all leaders and employers in the wake of the tragic lack of allyship and ownership leading to the resignation of Dr. Claudine Gay as Harvard’s President after only six months.
