-Jasmin talks about attending the DEI Institute’s conference via Zoom, Mariann celebrates a birthday while social distancing, we discuss the merits of keeping a diary during a pandemic, and we introduce our Supporting Vegan Businesses program by shouting out Beyond Investing.
-Jasmin interviews Aryenish Birdie about her incredible work with Encompass. She tells Jasmin about the work of the DEI Institute (which stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion), and how she and her co-founder managed to switch what was supposed to be the institute’s live conference to a Zoom conference. Aryenish talks with Jasmin about why focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion are vital to the growth of organizations, and how people can foster that growth in their own organizations. She also explains the meaning of the term “global majority.” (23:20)
-Mariann brings us Rising Anxieties about slaughterhouses and dairy farms affected by COVID-19. (1:03:51)
