She challenges us to use our lenses to understand how we see the world and acknowledge what makes each of us diverse. Risha explains how inclusion truly means being invited, involved and engaged. She examines bias and what it means to identify our own “BS” … the bias synapse and how we can all face our own BS in order to build authentic relationships while allowing for grace.
