RemeDEI: The Podcast

In this episode, we have our first RemeDEI™️ Podcast guest, Nik Unterkircher!! Nik is a lifelong learner and a champion for DEI. Fueled by a background in film and digital learning design, coupled with a passion for authenticity, he believes all people have a story to share. He advocates for increased visibility and representation for under-served communities and marginalized people in digital learning, and as a transmale, who has received gender-affirming care, he is also on a continued mission to increase access to medical care and awareness for gender-diverse persons.  Nik offers a unique perspective and a call to leadership within organizations on diversity & inclusion considerations. If you're not in a leadership position, Nik's words will become your blueprint as you identify effective diversity leadership in your next great role, or utilize Nik's perspective to propose diversity programming within your organization! --------------------- CONNECT WITH DR.
