Hey folks! This episode I am in conversation with my friend and former colleague Dr. Atiera Coleman. This time we are talking about both being DEI hires and what the term "DEI hire" really means in this present moment. Our fear of difference has us fearful of differences amongst one another, helping to lead the attack on the work of diversity, equity and inclusion overall. Have a listen as we talk about this and more. The song Atiera selected was Terry Kaye's "That's a Them Problem".

Dr. Atiera Coleman (she/her/hers) is the Chief Equity Officer for the State of Illinois, appointed by Governor JB Pritzker in July 2023. A transformative leader, Dr. Coleman has made substantial contributions to advancing equity and inclusion. Her expertise spans assessment and evaluation, grant writing, research methodology, and teaching. She is an accomplished facilitator and presenter, having spoken nationally on equity initiatives.

Before joining the Governor's administration, Dr. Coleman served as the Equity Manager for Rock County, Wisconsin, where she worked to ensure fair and unbiased access to county services. She also held the role of Associate Dean of Student Success, Equity, and Community at Beloit College, overseeing federally funded TRIO programs and leading the Anti-Racism Liaison team.

Dr. Coleman earned her doctorate in sociology from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and remains deeply committed to fostering a more just and equitable society.
