2023 Holiday Gift Guide
Dear Beloved Community,
In the midst of global challenges, our communities find solace in cultural traditions during the darkest months, weaving threads of hope, light, remembrance, and togetherness.
This holiday season, Embracing Equity extends a gift to you: a guide supporting your values as you shop. We hope you enjoy the delightful items below - my personal fave is the courageous and inspiring memoir, “They Called Us Exceptional” and the cozy Mental Health Liberation sweater.
Warm wishes for a season filled with purposeful giving,
Daisy

A Personal Note From Our Founder
2024 has been one of our most dynamic years as we took a big step toward sustainability, despite setbacks with fundraising, despite this Presidential election. We’re fortifying our roots as an anti-racist, DEI education movement that will persist and heal — even when we are scared. We are with you in feeling uncertain and frankly scared, for the future of our country. But we know this much to be true: Embracing Equity will continue to be on the front lines of DEI and will now be a critical resource in filling the government gaps and, in the worst-case scenario, navigating government persecution for implementing DEI efforts. We are more committed than ever to embrace equity, to build inclusive communities, and to make space for everyone at the table.

A Transformative Transition: Celebrating Daisy Han and Welcoming Our New CEO
Daisy Han, our visionary founder and CEO, will be transitioning out of her role at the end of 2024. While this is bittersweet—sweet because it reflects Daisy’s personal growth and the strength of the organization she built, and bitter because she is an extraordinary leader and human being and we will miss her greatly—we are excited to announce that Rashi Jawade will be promoted to CEO on January 1, 2025.
