Whether you’re from a marginalized group or not, it is important to have enough cultural humility to recognize your privileges and how you are responsible for excluding other people. It can be a hard conversation, but it is nevertheless something that we have to talk about in a time when diversity issues are once again coming to the fore. Joining Elizabeth Bachman to talk about this is Jessica Pettitt, a stand-up comedian, diversity trainer, and author of Good Enough Now. As someone who identifies as LGBT, Jessica is a victim of exclusion in one sense, but as a white person, she is also aware of the privileges that she enjoys by virtue of her whiteness. Her years in diversity work manifest in how clearly she elucidates the nuances of exclusion, privilege, and the need for inclusivity.
