Anyone with experience starting an ERG for D&I, African Americans, differently abled, LGBTQ+, or others?

I love my current company and team, but we are lacking in employee diversity and intentional D&I efforts. I am working to start a D&I ERG at my company and I'm wondering if anyone has any personal experience doing this? I've done a lot of research and talked (a lot) to people at my organization, but any first hand advice on how to get this off the ground would be appreciated!

    My company has a similar group. It's completely led by a committee, so maybe the first step is to put together a committee of employees who also want to be involved.

    I don't have any personal experience, but this might help! https://fairygodboss.com/career-topics/employee-resource-groups
