  As a member of CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™, a coalition of over 2000 signatories, the CEO asked me to step out of a critical leadership role to work with a group of 200 fellows from over 100 companies to improve the social well-being of those living in marginalized communities by developing scalable and sustainable public policies and corporate engagements to address systemic racism, resulting in nearly 400 concepts that led to the selection of 8 policies and 3 social contracts based on signatories, NGOs, and community leaders.1.
