On Sept. 18, 2024, WIN’s Co-vice chair Teddy Dianah Kemirembe, was given an opportunity to present WIN at the Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging Council (DEIBC) at the Washington state Liquor and Cannabis Board in Olympia.
Teddy had an opportunity to share her own lived experience as she answered the four questions in regards to inclusion.
As we reflect of Teddy’s answers, Teddy would love you to reflect on these questions and she would love to know how would you have answered these questions in your own lived experience as an immigrant?
