CEO of LaneChange Strategies Giovan Lane-Walker gets candid about workplace diversity equity and inclusion, workplace culture, leadership, and belonging in this powerful We Talk Weekly News interview.

Drawing from her background in science, research, and corporate strategy, Giovan explains how her journey led her to helping organizations rebuild trust and create environments where people feel seen, valued, and able to show up as themselves. The conversation dives into the real impact of code-switching, why so many employees leave because of management, and how companies can still do meaningful inclusion work even as DEI language and policies face backlash. Giovan also breaks down how organizations often got DEI wrong in the first place — focusing on quotas instead of culture — and why true belonging requires leadership change, not just public statements. If you care about workplace equity, Black professionals in corporate spaces, or how to create healthier organizations, this interview is full of insight, strategy, and truth.
