  • Global DEI: Apartheid to Equity
    2025/05/23
    In this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, Simma Lieberman, The Inclusionist, is joined by two incredible global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion experts: Michaël Stuber, the European DEI Engineer, and Nene Molefi, founder of Mandate Molefi HR Consultants in South Africa. While the focus of this episode is on the global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion landscape, it’s also a deeply personal conversation about their journeys, the challenges they’ve faced, and how their backgrounds have shaped their approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As we explore how Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives differ across countries, Michaël and Nene share their unique personal experiences—from Michaël’s upbringing in a family where cultural diversity was the norm, to Nene’s harrowing memories of growing up in the midst of apartheid in South Africa. These personal stories are woven into the conversation, bringing a human element to the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion discussion that goes beyond theories and strategies.

Michaël and Nene’s personal stories and shared wisdom will help you see Diversity, Equity and Inclusion not just as a corporate or political issue, but a human one. Key Takeaways: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is about more than just policies—it’s about understanding personal and cultural histories that shape our worldviews.Real change in DEI requires confronting deep-rooted systems of oppression, as demonstrated by Nene’s experience in apartheid and Michaël’s work in Europe.Effective DEI strategies must be rooted in listening, respect, and understanding of the complex histories that shape people’s lives.
