Testimonials
"Where some might shy away, CADIA leans in. During Pride Month, we collaborated with CADIA for a talk centered on solidarity. It was a rich and vulnerable conversation that united everyone. We laughed, cried, and learned to use an empathetic lens in consideration of colleagues. Ultimately, we all want to bring our whole selves to work, and that can only happen when we stop 'othering' people who may not be so different from ourselves."
