The language we use to refer and engage with one another has a significant effect on those around us, our workplaces, and our community. Our panel of community leaders shares the ways you can cultivate language as a powerful tool that builds inclusive and empowering spaces in order to intentionally avoid marginalization, misrepresentation, and perpetuating stereotypes that drive exclusive and isolating practices.
