We know that inclusion, equity, and diversity are important. But why?

Why do diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) matter in financial services? And how can we make this industry a more welcoming space for women and people of color?

In honor of Women’s History Month, Matt Halloran speaks with Sheryl Hickerson — founder of Females & Finance — to answer these defining questions. They explore why representation is crucial, how we can better assist underserved communities, and the benefits diversity offers the profession as a whole.

Plus, you’ll get actionable tips on how to be part of the solution.

Matt and Sheryl discuss:

  • The importance of role models and representation
  • Strategies for serving diverse communities
  • How diversity strengthens the financial services industry
  • The 100,000 goal and Females & Finance Fearless Pledge
  • Practical ways to get started
