Notable quotes:

"A lot of companies use the word culture fit a lot of the times when they're advertising for jobs or when they're looking for people. And the change should be culture ads. And that's the inclusion piece. That's the inclusion mentality. That actually you're different, but you can add something different."

"The problem is with DEI as a consultant that I've identified, is that companies say they want to do it and they want to apply DEI, but a lot of them don't know how."
