EDI 101: Glossary and Guides

Why Words Matter in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)

Creating a truly inclusive environment starts with communication. In EDI, understanding the right terminology is key. But with so many terms floating around, it can feel confusing! Just like any field, EDI has specific terms that ensure everyone is on the same page. By using the right words, we show respect for others and avoid misunderstandings. Clear communication is key to building trust and fostering a sense of belonging for everyone.
