Episode Synopsis

Episode Notes
Each human being is unique. That uniqueness adds to our collective strength. When we celebrate and include everyone's differences, we all benefit.
Unfortunately, many of our social and societal systems have been built to exclude and minimize the many of our populace. Particularly in the work place, acts ranging from microaggressions to overt aggression create a distinct feeling of "other-ness". Research has shown time and time again, that these in-group / out-group dynamics hurt productivity, morale and financial performance. And of course, they take a significant toll on the health, agency and well-being of the excluded person.
In this episode, we feature Chris D. Hooten, where we explore neurodivergence and gender-expansiveness. These two identities are often misunderstood and can bear the brunt of in-group / out-group discrimination.
