Episode Synopsis

What does it take to build workplaces where justice and equity are non-negotiable, even when the tide turns against DEI? In today’s episode, Nathan Stuck sits down with Ebony Adams, Vice President of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Allyship (IDEA) at Pariveda Solutions, a B Corp consulting firm. Nathan and Ebony unpack what she's doing to drive authentic, community-rooted DEI work at Pariveda Solutions, and why staying the course matters more than ever. A Black, queer, Gen X woman with a PhD in English, she brings deep expertise in DEI leadership, grassroots activism, and corporate change-making. Nathan and Ebony explore how to move DEI work from performative to purposeful, why solidarity across different movements is essential, and what it takes to build cultures where action — not just theory — drives change. If you're ready to rethink your approach to DEI and leadership, this conversation will leave you inspired and challenged.   RESOURCES RELATED TO THIS EPISODE Visit Pariveda Solutions at https://www.parivedasolutions.com  Follow Ebony on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/ebonyadams01  Learn more about B Local Georgia at https://www.blocalgeorgia.com    CREDITS Theme Music🎵ZakharValaha from Pixabay Produced by ChatWithLeadersMedia.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
