35:52Now PlayingWe’re back with the first episode of Season 8 of the Social Matters Podcast! To kick things off, we’re jump right into a conversation about the idea of moments vs movements in the context of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). From campaigns to events, moments can spark awareness and conversation but what does it take to translate that energy into long-term change?
We explore the tension between short bursts of attention and the ongoing, deeper work of building sustainable movements. Why do some powerful moments fade quickly, while others ignite lasting change? How can we make sure that the momentum of today doesn’t lose its impact in months or years to come?
Through examples from everyday life, workplaces, and wider society, we explore how to bridge the gap between inspiration and action. True inclusion and equity require more than performative gestures, they call for commitment, persistence and a willingness to reshape the systems around us.
If you’re curious about how to move from one-off moments to meaningful movements, this episode is for you.
Tune in, share, and join the conversation.
