Ep. 56 - Not Every Event Has to Have Alcohol

This week, I am joined by Rahimeh Ramezany.

Rahimeh Ramezany (RAH-hee-may) (RAM-eh-zaun-nee) is a multiethnic, visibly Muslim American woman, and is a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Intercultural specialist. Rahimeh believes that no matter how big or small, all of us have spheres of influence to push for greater inclusion, equity, and intercultural understanding. Her work is focused on addressing the experiences of marginalized ethnic, racial, and religious communities in the United States, in order to create change on an individual, interpersonal, and systemic scale.

Rahimeh and I had a chance to talk about her experience living as a visibly Muslim American woman, working in DEI as such, navigating stereotypes about Muslims, especially women who wear hijab, and how some tips to planning an inclusive event.
