Daralyse Lyons is a journalist, actor, and activist who has written over two dozen full-length books, short stories, and countless articles. A graduate of NYU with a double major in English and Religious Studies and a minor in History, Daralyse is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists. Daralyse is passionate about exposing the painful side of history. Daralyse believes in a world where diversity is celebrated and has made it a mission to stand for a more integrated world. As a sexually fluid person with relationships and experiences with men and women, Daralyse has found a place amidst many communities attempting to erase Daralyse’s orientation and has been a voice within the darkness. Daralyse’s award-winning children's book, "I'm Mixed!" inspired Daralyse to educate others about embracing all aspects of themselves. Daralyse has since written and spoken extensively on diversity, using their unique background as a Biracial, multiethnic, and sexually fluid woman to foster cross-cultural understanding.   Here is what to expect on this week’s show:  ☀️  Why does Diversity Matter in a workplace ☀️ Diversity is not a check-the-box experience ☀️ Why it is essential to lead by listening ☀️ Individual change vs. systemic change ☀️ Understanding the Chain of Reporting ☀️ Looking to expand your client base? Embrace Diversity     Get in touch with Daralyse:   Podcast: https://www.demystifyingdiversitypodcast.com/ FB Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/DemystifyingDiversityPodcast Buy the book: Demystifying Diversity Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1615995331/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=demystifying+diversity&qid=1599765851&sr=8-3 Official website: https://www.daralyselyons.com/     Learn more about Dr. Joey at www.workpositive.today Learn more about your ad choices.
