I recently came across a post on LinkedIn by Becca Lory Hector that shared the term DEIB. I am familiar with DEI which stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, but I had no idea what the B stood for. The B is Belonging, this makes so much sense to me and helps to round off what DEI is all about.
I recommend you read the post on LinkedIn in full, to hear Becca's perspective. I have§ however included the Venn Diagram here to help visualise that belonging is at the intersection of DEI.
As a DEIB-Disability consultant, the first question I inevitably get asked is "What's the B for?" And every time it happens, I get excited all over again to explain what Belonging has to do with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
