The power of privilege

Tiffany Jana has directed organizational development, marketing, and community outreach initiatives for over 10 years. She founded TMI Consulting, the world's first Diversity and Inclusion Certified Benefit Corporation. TMI Consulting recently designed and facilitated a very successful series of transatlantic cooperative civic-engagement workshops in the US and the EU for the German Marshall Fund as well as a Congressional Leadership series of bipartisan dialogues on race and democracy. Tiffany's leadership in community building work has been recognized twice in the Wall Street Journal. Using her own personal story, Tiffany talks about social privileges and challenges some of the assumptions that come along with these cultural biases and the ways in which we share and benefit from them. Her message is don't focus on the privilege that you don't have, but acknowledge the advantages that you have and use them to restore equity wherever you see bias.
