Racial Justice at Work with Mary Frances Winters & Mareisha Reese
Manage episode 413277055 series 2304574
DEI has evolved over the years, and I wanted to reach out about a new term being discussed and practiced — justice (aka DEIJ). Mary-Frances Winters, founder and CEO of The Winters Group Inc., a global DEI consultancy, focuses on this topic in her new book: Racial Justice at Work: Practical Solutions for Systemic Change. Justice is a newer concept in the corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion space, and there is a lack of understanding about what it means and how to actualize it.
Mary-Frances Winters (she/her/hers) is the best-selling author of Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit and We Can’t Talk About That at Work! How to Talk About Race, Religion, Politics, and Other Polarizing Topics. She is the Founder and CEO of The Winters Group, Inc., a global diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice consulting firm. She came of age during the civil rights movement of the 1960s and is a passionate advocate for justice and equity. Named a top ten diversity and inclusion trailblazer by Forbes, Mary-Frances believes in opening doors and amplifying marginalized voices and their allies. She has received many awards and honors, including the ATHENA Award, Diversity Pioneer from Profiles in Diversity Journal, and The Winds of Change recognition from The Forum on Workplace Inclusion. As CEO of The Winters Group for the past thirty-nine years, Mary-Frances harnesses her extensive experience in strategic planning, change management, diversity, organization development, training and facilitation, systems thinking, and qualitative and quantitative research methods to work with senior leadership teams to drive meaningful organizational change. This is her seventh book.
Mareisha N. Winters Reese (she/her/hers) is president and chief operating officer of The Winters Group, Inc. As president and chief operating officer, Mareisha’s primary responsibility includes leading the firm’s finance, human resources, information systems, marketing and branding, and client management operations. Prior to her role as president and chief operating officer, Mareisha served as vice president of The Winters Group where her contributions to supporting The Winters Group’s growth included significant enhancements to the firm’s technology infrastructure, web presence, social media platforms, and client service offerings. Before joining The Winters Group in 2012, Mareisha worked as Program Manager of a National Science Foundation grant focusing on diversity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education at Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) in Charlotte, NC. Mareisha worked for 6 years at Northrop Grumman where she gained a variety of experience working in their business management, supply chain management and engineering business units. Mareisha’s experience also includes time working at a small DC based software company and the US Patent and Trademark Office.
She was named to Diversity MBA’s Top 100 Under 50 Executive and Emerging Leaders and Diversity Woman Media’s The Power 100 List. In 2023, Mareisha was named a Who’s Who in Black Charlotte and was recognized in the Charlotte Business Journal’s Power 100 and Profiles in Diversity Journal’s Women Worth Watching.
