Radical Acceptance: The Power of Being Real
As organizations move from Social Responsibility to Social Equity, Risha Grant brings it all into perspective.
First, Get Rid of the BS.
It all starts with addressing unconscious biases. These create barriers to your inner badass and prevent connected cultures at work. The power of being the real you, the authentic you, brings forward a competitive advantage. When people feel empowered to radically accept themselves, they stop hiding their innovation, creativity, and unique abilities, which allows them to build authentic relationships.
Bias and belonging are in opposition to one another. Recognizing her own BS taught Risha that unconscious bias is a barrier to inclusion, both personally and professionally. By extending that knowledge to business, she teaches audiences to identify, own and confront their personal biases while also instructing companies on the importance of building a connected culture through self-awareness, dialogue, allyship and radical acceptance. These actions lead to the number one goal of creating an equitable workplace.
Motivated by her passion to correct societal "isms" like racism, sexism, classism and plain old stupidism. Risha's personal mission exposes the value of Diversity & Inclusion while shining a light on the economic impact it creates. From her race, gender and lifestyle choices, to growing a small business and tackling economic issues, every area of her life intersects diversity.
Risha is founder & CEO of Risha Grant LLC, an award-winning diversity consulting and communications firm. Her work has been featured in Forbes, The Financial Times, Off Script, Bloomberg Media, Black Enterprise, Radioactive Radio, Take the Lead Radio and WURD Radio.
