Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are the buzzwords of the business world, but it’s the statistics that sting: 85% of corporate executives and board members in the U.S. are white men. Companies are trying to create more inclusive workplaces by creating new policies and changing hiring practices, but they’re missing allyship.
As top DEI Consultant Di Ciruolo asks readers, “Why should people care about being allies?”. The current system, she reveals, is full of blame for inequalities. It is full of shame, too, as insiders at top tech companies share eye-opening stories about what DEI is really like in Silicon Valley and beyond. But allyship isn’t about blame or shame; it’s about action. Now, Ciruolo shows why allyship is crucial for every business within Ally Up. Leaders are expected to understand systems of inequality in the workplace and beyond to promote more inclusive and higher performing teams. Ally Up is a how-to guide written with exactly those goals in mind.
Di Ciruolo has a degree in Anthropology from Georgia State University. She is a white-Hispanic, queer woman living in Boston, Massachusetts where she graduated from the foster care system as a young adult. After aging out of the foster care system, Di struggled to find stability, spending time homeless in Atlanta, Georgia. She now owns a consulting business teaching inclusion and advocacy in the workplace, with classes available at diciruolo.com. She is the Head of Inclusion at Jambb in Boston. Di has written articles for Medium and is an obsessive reader. She volunteers on several inclusion projects especially expanding access to tech education for children in foster care and is a space-maker and semi-reluctant public speaker. She is married to her partner, Jay, and they have two fiery children.
