Introducing the Table of Diversity
Today's mainstream conversations around diversity often involve race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and sometimes disability. There's so much more to the conversation and, as a result, in our DEI efforts.
​
Introducing the Table of Diversity! A tool for expanding the conversation around diversity, inviting more people into the conversation, and getting clear about what we truly mean.
​
Ask anyone to define 'diversity'. Chances are, if you ask 10 people, you will get 10 different answers. To achieve a truly inclusive culture, there are four things we must do four things:
01
Expand Our Definition of Diversity
Diversity is the unique combination of inherent and acquired traits. This includes the things we see, such as race or gender expression, and things we don't see, such as education level and religion. All these Diversity Elements influence how we show up.
03
Get Clear on Our Diversity Priorities
Diversity is an umbrella term. When leading and strategizing, we have to be clear in what we say and say what we mean. There's no one-size-fits-all solution that works for every marginalized group. Get specific to find solutions that are sustainable.
02
Recognize the Intersections
Our identities don't exist in a silo. We show up as all of our identities, all the time. Being at the intersection of identities can mean having a different day-to-day experience and interaction with various systems.
04
Go on a Diversity Journey
The Table of Diversity is a great starting point for going on a diversity, equity, and inclusion journey of learning and unlearning. Learn more about about your culture and traditions, unlearn harmful stereotypes, and take intentional actions to improve inclusion and equity.
See Yourself on the Table of Diversity
The Table of Diversity is a fun tool to help everyone see themselves as part of the DEI conversation and solution, not just as a spectator.

You probably recognize the Table of Diversity's inspiration- the Periodic Table of Elements from Chemistry. Instead of chemical elements, the Table of Diversity has Diversity Elements.
