In this episode, we welcome Dr. Jacqueline Font-Guzmán, vice president for diversity, equity, & inclusion at Eastern Mennonite University; and strategic vision director for the Center of Justice & Peace Building at EMU.
Civity has been privileged to support EMU on its Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) journey with workshops for the President and her Cabinet and the Board of Trustees.
Together, we explore how to make DEI work transformative, including the importance of making it relational, and building trust and partnership among groups in a community to forge strong connections.

Our world today is one of haves and have-nots, insiders and outsiders, people who belong and people who are marginalized because they are other.
By reaching out person-to-person to others who are different, all of us together create the relational infrastructure to build solidarity, justice, and resilience in our communities.
Our differences are our strengths. This is ‘civity.’
Our podcast showcases interviews with people bridging power-based divides to move communities forward on issues grounded in inequities.
