Listen "Exploring the Transformative Influence of Immigrants on Corporate Culture with: Lola Adeyemo"
Episode Synopsis
According to the analysis of the Economic Policy Institute
Current Population Survey (CPS) data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
immigrant shares of the labor force reached a record high of 18.6% in 2023.
Anti-immigration advocates have been vocal, using this statistic to support
misguided arguments suggesting that "immigrants are taking all our
jobs."
The reality, however, is that the economy is not static; it
is growing and adding jobs for both immigrants and U.S.-born workers.
This is positive news for Lola M. Adeyemo, a scientist by
training who has transitioned into a certified diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI) practitioner. She is the founder and CEO of EQImindset, an organization
dedicated to fostering inclusive corporate workplaces through initiatives such
as employee resource groups (ERGs). As an immigrant, Lola established the
Non-Profit Immigrants in Corporate Inc. to meet the need for community and
support among immigrant professionals. Its a membership platform that empowers
immigrant professionals to succeed in corporate America. With nearly two
decades of experience at Fortune 250 Global STEM companies, Lola collaborates
with organizations to enhance their inclusion programs and ERGs through her
consulting firm, EQImindset.
A TEDx speaker and San Diego Equal Opportunity Commissioner,
Lola's contributions have earned her numerous accolades, including selections
for 40 under 40 recognitions and the 2024 Women in Business Awards. She hosts
the 'Thriving in Intersectionality Podcast' and is the author of the
award-winning book "Thriving in Intersectionality: Immigrants, Belonging,
and Corporate America."
Outside of her professional pursuits, Lola is a wife and
mother of three. She appreciates that the most rewarding aspect of her hectic
life as a corporate entrepreneur is the ability to pursue her passion and
purpose while having enough flexibility to enjoy quality family time.
