Black people, Indigenous people, people of color (BIPOC) and women now make up a significant portion of the modern workforce.

How do you define a meaningful connection with someone else? For some of us, it’s that feeling when we leave a conversation and are already looking forward to the next. For others, it’s the ability to immediately bond over shared interests or experiences. For others, it’s a feeling, a vibe, a sense that another person intrinsically “gets” us—that they’re on our side.
