“I grew up thinking that a lot of things were tied to education and poverty. I could get a great education, and if I wasn’t poor, none of the other problems, including racism, for example, would exist.”
In this episode, Nick speaks with Corey Williams about her experiences growing up in Alabama and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). She shares how her upbringing and family shaped her perspective on race and class and how she has evolved in her understanding of privilege and marginalized identities. She challenges the notion of a meritocracy and highlights the value of every individual’s worth. Overall, the conversation explores the complexities of DEI and the importance of education in fostering understanding and empathy.
About Corey Williams
Corey was born in Alabama and went off to Harvard with less than zero self-awareness. For a long time, she believed that identities didn’t matter. And then, through challenging experiences like having babies and being sexually assaulted, she found that her identity was very much at issue. It has taken her on a long journey that’s led to DEI consulting with nonprofits, schools, Silicon Valley startups, and Fortune 500 companies.
