Being intentional about your inclusion – Kirsten Paladino
You’ve no doubt been hearing a lot about DEI – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and maybe you’re a little confused as to what to do in your business. I was so fortunate to have my friend Kirsten Paladino, Co-founder and editorial director of equallywed.com, join me and help us understand better how we can all be intentional in how we show our customers and prospects that we’re not only open to doing business with them, we’re competent and qualified to do so.
Listen to this episode for some ideas on how your business can present itself in a more inclusive way.
Kirsten Palladino (she/they) is the cofounder and editorial director of equallywed.com, an online wedding magazine for LGBTQ+ couples and marriers, which she launched with her wife in 2010. She travels globally teaching LGBTQ+ inclusive practices to wedding and event pros, which she also teaches in digital courses on equallywedpro.com. She is the author of Equally Wed: The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your LGBTQ+ Wedding, which is available wherever books are sold.
