But that's not all…

  • Diverse companies enjoy 2.3X higher cash flow per employee
  • 43% of companies with inclusive boards saw higher profits
  • Highly gender-diverse executive teams are 21% more likely to outperform on profitability
  • Teams who foster inclusion are 35% more likely to outperform industry medians’ financial returns
  • And companies who bolster ideas from underrepresented groups are 70% more likely to capture new markets!

That means companies that do the deep DEI work have a proven, substantial advantage collaboratively, competitively, and financially.

It’s amazing what can happen when EVERYONE feels comfortable showing up as their whole selves!

In other words, the future of your company depends on its ability to be an inclusive workplace.

…And your partnerships, relationships with employees, and vendors depend on your allyship too!

The good news?

 Everyone can encourage the representation and participation of underrepresented groups and shift the focus towards inclusivity. 

When more people are equipped to create inclusive environments, it will help ALL of us thrive!

"This experience really challenged me, taught me, made me look deep into what I believe and positioned me to move forward in the DEI space both at work and within my community."

-Barbara A.

"I would say, although this can be very difficult work... and it is... it can also be the most amazing, fun, and fulfilling work there is. The summit was one of the most fulfilling, engaging, and productive weekends in my life in regards to my “personal transformation journey."

-Anonymous

Do you know the people you surround yourself with determine up to 95% of your success?!

The people you’re with have a huge impact on your growth, your motivation, and your ability to face challenges with strength and determination

You might not have many close friends, colleagues, or folks in your network who are experts on workplace DEI— which means you don’t have a well-resourced network in place, or people to call for advice when things get tricky. 

That's why having a supportive, uplifting, and radically honest community is an essential component of creating lasting changes.

DEANNA SINGH

Hey there, I’m Deanna… 

I'm the founder of Uplifting Impact, and author of Actions Speak Louder. Because of my mission and dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion. I’ve been recognized as a leading authority in building innovative opportunities within underserved communities.  

A few of my recent and honored awards include the 2022 Women of Influence award from the Milwaukee Business Journal and the Moonbeam Award for my Pre-teen book with American Girl.

I’ve spent almost 20 years researching, designing, and building asset-based solutions to complex social challenges, and I want to share these valuable skills with you so you can also be a changemaker in your workplace. 

My intention is to create more equitable, inclusive, and profitable environments and help you engage more authentically with everyone in your communities. 

JUSTIN PONDER

Hey, I’m Justin…  

I feel passionate about weaving the academic understanding of inclusion with the political and the personal so we can all appreciate the complexity of the issues we face while bringing clarity to our personal responsibility.

I’m a professor of Ethnic Studies, African American Studies, and Ethnic Minority Literature, and I’ve published in numerous journals and books on the issues of race and identity politics, exploring ways to bridge the gap. 

As a Co-Founder of Uplifting Impact, I help organizations and leaders consider connections between the historical past, the social present, and a more just future.

OUR MISSION

We believe all of the solutions for all of the world's problems already exist. 

They just haven't been heard because the people who hold them do not have the threshold to share their ideas. 

By helping organizations shed practices that are inequitable and non-inclusive, we can FINALLY lay the groundwork for everyone’s brilliant ideas to be uplifted, heard, and acted on!
