Key Quotes from "How to Support DEI with Mentorship Programs":
1. "The term "reverse" comes from flipping the paradigm of traditional mentoring, where the actual junior level employees are mentoring the more senior people in our organization."
2. " we wanted to make sure we were representing that entire community as best we could within each pairing."
3. "And it's more of just that connection networking point in which we've seen that our upper-level leadership has actually learned a lot because they're like, wow, I didn't know this about what we're doing."
4. "You want to just demonstrate that you're there to understand and empathize with someone else."
