Welcome to "Lawfully Employed: For Legal Rebels and Disruptors," where host Chere Estrin leads fearless conversations that redefine the discourse on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the legal industry. In this dynamic and eye-opening episode, Chere is joined by distinguished guests, Joyce Chen, Former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles and CEO at Multicultural Leadership Institute, and Dr. Nikki Lanier, CEO of Harper Slade LLC. Together, they unravel the crucial issue of why law firms are not realizing the anticipated results from their DEI programs.
In this program, Chere, Joyce, and Dr. Nikki engage in a candid exploration of the flaws inherent in existing DEI initiatives. They tackle the crucial question of why these programs often fall short, overlooking key dimensions of diversity such as the physically challenged and other minorities. The conversation delves into the specific challenges faced by the Asian American community and sheds light on the nuances that often go unnoticed.
This is not just another discussion—it's an honest and unfiltered dialogue about the proverbial elephant in the room. The trio fearlessly addresses the gaps in DEI programs, offering insightful suggestions on how law firms can bridge these divides—if only they're willing to listen. From addressing blind spots to embracing a more comprehensive approach, Chere, Joyce, and Dr. Nikki provide actionable insights that promise to reshape the landscape of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession.
