Thank you for joining me for Episode 5 where my guest and I discuss our expat experience as two Americans living in Paris as well as how DEI is perceived and practiced in France.
In this episode, Sandra talks with us about:
- Her journey as a “double expat” moving from Colombia to the US as a child then from the US to France as an adult
- The difference in how she feels DEI is perceived, understood, and practiced in France versus in the US
- The importance of cultural humility
- The fascinating national discussion on whether French should be modified to become a gender-neutral language.
This is part 1 of a 2-part series. During our conversation, Sandra graciously shares her lived experience in a very open and transparent manner and provides insight into the world of DEI outside of the US but through a US lens.
If something resonates with you while enjoying our conversation, share it with us on social media using the hashtag #ethintegritypodcast.
