What does it take to build workplaces where justice and equity are non-negotiable, even when the tide turns against DEI?
In today’s episode, Nathan Stuck sits down with Ebony Adams, Vice President of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Allyship (IDEA) at Pariveda Solutions, a B Corp consulting firm. Nathan and Ebony unpack what she's doing to drive authentic, community-rooted DEI work at Pariveda Solutions, and why staying the course matters more than ever. A Black, queer, Gen X woman with a PhD in English, she brings deep expertise in DEI leadership, grassroots activism, and corporate change-making.
Nathan and Ebony explore how to move DEI work from performative to purposeful, why solidarity across different movements is essential, and what it takes to build cultures where action — not just theory — drives change. If you're ready to rethink your approach to DEI and leadership, this conversation will leave you inspired and challenged.
