Ways to Use Diversity Beans
We hope this goes without saying, but Diversity Beans are not a substitute for diversity training. Diversity Beans are an addition to training, a reminder, a takeaway, an activity in your training. Remember, inclusive community building is a process not an event. We welcome the opportunity to be a part of your process.
GREAT ways to use Diversity Beans:
A reminder to hit pause and analyze expectations when meeting someone new
An invitation to learn life experiences and perspectives different from your own
A tangible way to experience bias based on perception

A tool (and community of resources) to help build diverse, equitable, and inclusive spaces
A catalyst for discussions on systemic racism, white supremacy, allyship, accomplices, and co-conspirators
A sweet way (pun intended) to talk about bias, prejudice, and stereotypes with friends, kids, and family
A branded promotional giveaway for job fairs and corporate sponsored events
A fun icebreaker activity at your next meeting (or in the classroom)
