Named “World-Class Peacekeeper” and “Everyday Hero” by the Star Tribune, Hanadi Chehabeddine joins us on “Stories from the Field” for a powerful conversation about finding and owning belonging as a Muslim immigrant in the US. We first delve into the topic from her own perspective, and then expand to consider the perspectives of other communities of color with advice for companies that are ready to own belonging themselves as a competitive lever.

LEARNING HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE:

• The story behind Hanadi’s TedX Talk
• True belonging: How do you survive in a place that wasn't built for you?
• “Companies need to start aligning their policies to their values.”
• Hanadi’s two big asks for DEI practitioners.
• "These conversations need to happen with our kids."
