DEI and the problem of the white doll dipped | Amelia Ransom | TEDxOneonta

This talk will help the audience recognize the profound difference between superficial diversity initiatives and the meaningful engagement that true inclusivity requires. I want to ignite a sense of urgency and a call to action, encouraging individuals and organizations to reflect on their own practices and to commit to cultivating diversity as one would nurture a garden—with intention, care, and a long-term vision for growth. Amelia Ransom, VP at Smartsheet, leads DEI and CSR. She excels in shaping culture, talent development, engagement and mentorship. A sought after speaker and community leader, she's on the board of Seattle Chamber of Commerce, Evergreen Goodwill, YWCA Seattle| King | Snohomish, Institute for Sustainable Diversity and Inclusion, and Leadership Tomorrow. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
