Ripples of Inclusion, Healing, and the Courage to Interrupt with Carrie Sawyer

What does it mean to become an “interrupter” in the face of injustice, exclusion, or systems that no longer serve people?
In this episode of KnowThyBrand, Giulia is joined by Carrie Sawyer, founder of Diversity by Design and Inclusion First Institute, for a deeply human conversation about inclusion, advocacy, leadership, and transformation.
Carrie shares the story behind her book Ripples of Inclusion, created after collecting hundreds of questions from people across the United States following the murder of "George Floyd in 2020. Together, they explore what it means to ask difficult questions, how to safely support others, and why even the smallest actions can create meaningful ripple effects.
The conversation then shifts into Carrie’s personal experience with breast cancer and how that journey is now inspiring a new vision: HELD, a women’s health innovation lab focused on healing, education, leadership, and disruption within healthcare systems.
This episode is a powerful reflection on courage, empathy, advocacy, and the importance of understanding the unique role each of us can play in creating change.
