Information shared includes the guest name (Shawna Gann, a light skinned Black woman smiling at the camera with a stud nose piercing, and her long black hair worn down in locks.) and title (founder and CEO of True Colors Consulting), a photograph of the host, Amanda Lytle, a white woman with long light brown hair and glasses, and icons for Spotify, RSS feed, Stitcher, and Apple Podcasts.

It is placed against an image of a starry night sky and an illustrated roof top. A colorful illustrated triangle flag banner in Row House yellow, orange, maroon, and purple is hanging over the red brick buildings.

There are also geometrical neon shapes and lens flares accenting the image.

As a Certified Diversity Professional and Scholar-Practitioner, Shawna Gann successfully marries business psychology, learning theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles to support organizations as they advance DEI practices in the workplace and in everyday social situations. Though she works with employees at all levels of an organization supporting the many dimensions of diversity, she specializes in racial ambiguity, authenticity, and belonging. Through her world travels, Shawna has immersed herself in global and social culture granting a fresh perspective and the ability to think broadly, which has augmented her work as an effective and impactful consultant, educator, and doctoral candidate. 

In the conversation today, we dive into organizational fairness, the backstory to True Colors Consulting, and Shawna’s journey from classroom to the world of organizational leadership and then into business psychology, and her continuing studies!
