“Sometimes allyship doesn't look like stepping up, it looks like stepping back and inviting others to the table,” says Camille Dundas, Principal Educator for The IDEA Practice Inc. “Statistics show that industries across the board could make serious gains in revenue per year through diversity, inclusion, and belonging efforts, but despite throwing millions of well-intentioned dollars at DE&I programs, underrepresented groups struggle to get their foot in the door, and when they do, they almost never make it up in the ranks. Something doesn't add up." Dundas joins host Manjit Minhas to discuss her journey and the power of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). She is a DE&I consultant specializing in allyship and anti-racism education, and also the Editor-in-Chief of Canada’s largest Black online magazine ByBlacks.com. Dundas has been named among the top 100 Black Canadian Accomplished Women, and her pursuit of truth as a journalist has led to years of research into the untold stories of Black Canadian history and the persistence of anti-Black racism in Canada.  Topics they cover include: 0:00: Camille’s Story: “That's when I started realizing how important words were.” 8:25: Discrimination to determination: “I started noticing little things that I couldn't quite explain.” 13:35: Practicing allyship: “No matter your identity, you will need an ally at some point.” 27:50: Diversity, equity + inclusion in the workplace: “Nobody fits into one single category, and we're influenced by our socialization experiences, culture and background.” 33:20: Becoming an entrepreneur: “To see someone succeeding in a field that you didn't think was for you makes a big difference in your choices.” 43:20: Closing: “We have to be very transparent with younger women when they ask us for advice.” Presented by IG Wealth Management Learn more at ig.ca/women The views, information and opinions expressed are those of the featured guests, and not necessarily those of IG Wealth Management
