This week I’m chatting with Levi Baer, who is the Director of Training for Chicago United for Equity, an organization committed to dismantling systemic racism through training and education. He is also the co-founder and Community Builder of Second Shift Chicago, an innovative coworking space. He is very passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion. Growing up on a farm taught him the value of community, connectedness, and hard work, which he still carries with him today. He shares insights he gained over the years about racial equity. One such insight is that people do not only want to be heard, but also have input in decision-making processes, especially when it directly affects them.

Levi’s hope is that organizations recognize that everyone has unique, powerful things to offer and seek to create a mosaic out of each diverse contribution instead of molding a homogenous workforce.
