Welcome back to the Project Elevate Podcast with Tammy Benay Perry! On today’s episode, we are joined by Rachel Lauren. Rachel is a partner at Diversified, a boutique consulting firm that specializes in employee engagement and corporate programming. Diversified focuses on celebrating diversity at work and how that can lead to stellar results for employees, consumers, and communities.

Rachel Lauren is a conscious social influencer who is passionate about women’s rights, racial equity, foster care/adoption, and so much more! In her many social media platforms, she speaks against racial inequality and advocates for the lives of all Black people. 

Tammy and Lauren emphasize the importance of having spaces that people can call their own and finding individuals they can identify with in order to have transparent conversations. The road to racial equality varies across different groups of people. It is important to make your voice heard and to give yourself a seat at the table.

This week’s motivational message from our guest was: “If they don’t make a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” - Shirley Chisholm
