Inclusive language is the daily practice of intentional word selection that conveys respect to all people. By choosing inclusive language, we acknowledge and honor the diverse and intersectional identities of every person, making them feel valued and inviting them to contribute their best.

Yet, inclusive language might not come naturally, even for people who value diversity. It takes practice, and it takes humility. This course will help you become more intentional with your language and begin to create environments where people feel valued and respected.
