Continue reading →: Millennials Dig DiversityI do not like stereotypes. They’re simplistic and occasionally – maybe more than occasionally – stupid. And while there is some truth to them – in the same way people who share an astrological sign also share some personality traits – large group assumptions are so easy to disprove it’s…

Continue reading →: Diversity Training in the Era of TrumpA few people have emailed me since the election wanting me to write something scathing and heated about the outcome, but I didn’t for two reasons.
