Hi Ladies, I'm new to the group and wanted to introduce myself.
I am Luaskya (Lou-a-sca). I am a mom of two, in house attorney at an IT company and I'm in the process of starting my DEI Consulting Firm. I look forward to meeting you all....perhaps virtually??
Luaskya, just curious: Do you include age (ie, chronological maturity beyond age 50) as a category within DEI?
When I encounter a DEI professional, I always ask this question. Most of them have answered in the negative, and I'm not sure why. Thanks!
Hi Luaskya,
I started my DEI consulting firm this past April. I'd love to connect.

Welcome and congratulations on your new firm!
Hi Luaskya, congratulations on being thoughtful about a next chapter. I just had a conversation Friday with a fascinating woman who works in DEI and is exploring consulting instead of in-house work. Now is such a good moment for this industry - and let’s hope the movement continues to grow!
I’d be happy to make an intoduction if you’re interested.
Hi Linda, I'd appreciate the introduction. Thank you!
Welcome, Luaskya! Is the DEI Consulting Firm a career change for you? If so, what inspired you to take that leap?
I had been doing this wrk on a smaller scale within the company I work for and the need to make radical changes continued to grow within me. I hadn't been fulfilled in my primary job for awhile and as I began to focus more attention in the DEI space to support my employer I realized that this is something I want to do on a broader scale for more companies than just my employer.
