Highlights
Many organizations launched diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts to improve employment rates for people from historically underrepresented groups—but being labeled a “DEI hire” can leave professionals feeling diminished, disrespected, and isolated. This webinar will explore the mental and emotional toll of having your presence or position reduced to a checkbox, rather than being seen for your skills, experience, and accomplishments.
Participants will examine how to protect their mental health, voice their strengths without apology, build resilience in the face of tokenism, and find solidarity in community. Mental health professional Stacia’ Alexander will unpack how to navigate these challenges with authenticity, resilience, and power.
During this webinar, attendees will learn
- The emotional and psychological impact of being labeled a “DEI hire” and how it can affect mental well-being and professional identity
- Strategies to shift internal narratives from defensiveness to empowerment
- How to advocate for themselves and assert their expertise in spaces where they may feel tokenized or undervalued
- Where to identify sources of community, mentorship, and mental health support to sustain well-being and build resilience over time
