As a social justice warrior, I care deeply about the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and in my job as a professional inclusion speaker, I consistently speak about how equity is the key to creating a more inclusive world for women, BIPOC, and people from communities that experience marginalization.

But the concept of equity can often be conflated with diversity and inclusion even though they are very different! In one of my previous videos, I broke down the definitions and differences between these three concepts and said that we can’t have diversity and inclusion without equity.

In this video, I wanted to dig deeper and highlight why that is — why equity is key for building a more diverse and inclusive world, disrupting oppression and hate, and more.

Given all that we are seeing happen in the world right now, we’re hearing a lot about the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion (or DEI).

I also know that the unique concepts of equity, inclusion, and diversity can be tricky to describe, and that far too often we are presented with generalized definitions that fail to capture the nuances of and differences between these distinctive principles.

In this video, I explain the difference between equity, diversity, and inclusion and share which of the three I think is most important for creating social change.
