Join us for a conversation with Dr. Jennifer Sarrett, founder and director of Disruptive Inclusion, a small DEI consultancy. In addition to other topics, Dr. Sarrett has a strong background in disability justice and anti-ableism, which led her to create a proactive, intersectional approach to DEI called Universal Design for Equity. Attendees will learn how to intentionally design organizational culture to create an inclusive and equitable environment.
Dr. Sarrett will be joining us to talk about how Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) has largely been reactive in the past and how her approach encourages us to shift our mindset to create more sustainable, effective strategies for inclusion and belonging. We hope you join the conversation!

Jina is a consultant and speaker on diversity, inclusion, culture, and belonging. She creates training programs and workshops to help clients move forward in their D&I journey. She is a storyteller and speaks candidly about her experiences, hard lessons, and ‘aha’ moments that helped her understand the importance of individuality, the value of curiosity, and the courage it takes to “just” be yourself. Often described as “approachable” and “relatable” by her clients, she works with purpose and the intention of being engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to real-world situations. Jina draws from her unique background and mix of work experiences to offer examples and share insights designed to benefit everyone across the workplace ecosystem – executives, management, employees, and customers.
Previously, she was Principal Consultant at EtiennePartners (EP), a boutique consulting firm that offered a unique strategy development, workshops & coaching to leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. Co-founded with her husband, EP was a full-time partnership in both work and life. Although in different professions, their work often intersected around the importance of self-awareness in leadership and navigating conflict within teams. Combining their experiences, backgrounds, and work led to the development of their unique approach to D&I, which she continues to use in her practice today.
