“It’s not just about being closeted about sexual orientation. Honestly, we all have a closet. We have multiple closets. We have multiple ways we are closeted. When we don’t bring our full selves to work, there’s a lot we are hiding beneath the waterline of our iceberg.”

This week’s conversation examines some of today’s more challenging social issues, namely privilege and diversity. Today’s guest, Jennifer Brown, talks about her own privilege, even as a member of the LGBTQ community. She talks about our collective responsibility to make change a reality, and we discuss how we all keep parts of ourselves closeted—not just sexual orientation.
