Building an inclusive culture can be an overwhelming process, especially if you’re doing it alone. But when you dive in, you quickly see you’re not the only one hungry for change.

In this session, you’ll hear from a team of women at Intuit who led the charge to abolish racist language within their company. They’ll share how they got started, key learnings, how this work has impacted Intuit’s culture, and how you can get started where you work.
