During our first episode in this two-part series, we had an engaging conversation with our guest Tiffany Obeng, who is an attorney and author, about representation and how it is an important step toward creating a sense of belong in workplace settings. In this episode, we continue this conversation by discussing how Ms. Obeng's children's books can help create more inclusive professions. Ms. Obeng's books contain images of BIPOC people in workplaces where they are either historically absent or severely underrepresented while also teaching children about the careers. These images and storytelling ignite children’s imagination as they read about an array of specialties and options even within various professions. We discuss how this representation helps create diverse pipelines.
