“ Traditional public relations, internal communications, and executive communications exist to reinforce the status quo…. [T]hat means force-fitting messaging, restricting what people know to control what we want them to feel, and limiting what they do. Becoming conscious communicators by applying a DEI lens to our work means expanding the topics, options, and actions our audience can experience — making room. ”
― Janet M Stovall, The Conscious Communicator: The Fine Art of Not Saying Stupid Sh*t

“ As communicators, we are complicit in the harm caused by performative communications, microaggressions, reinforcing stereotypes in our content, and contributing to damaging our brand’s reputation…. As conscious communicators, with an awareness of others’ experiences and a commitment to centering them, we are uniquely positioned to help build a truly people-centered workplace. ”
― Kim Clark, The Conscious Communicator: The Fine Art of Not Saying Stupid Sh*t
