Keynote speaker Shakti Butler posed this query at this year's Diversity Conference on March 31. During her speech, “Irresistible Justice: Cultivating Joy as a Pathway to Equity," Butler asked about the role of racism or inequality in the lives of the audience and allowed time for discussion and reflection.
