Stumbling Towards Inclusion:
Finding Grace in Imperfect Leadership

The manifestation of Stumbling Towards Inclusion begins with Priya Nalkur: a double immigrant and woman of color who has devoted her life to helping individuals become better inclusive leaders. For those who are wanting to learn more about J.E.D.I but are unable to join RoundTable Institute’s workshops, Stumbling Towards Inclusion is a companion piece that enables leaders from all walks of life to confront their stumbling blocks and work to become the leader they were meant to be.

Stumbling Towards Inclusion captures Priya’s drive and devotion to let others know why the mission of inclusion is so crucial in today’s often fraught environment. Within this journey is the practice of grace and forgiveness within oneself. Everyone has a unique path to become the leader they were destined to, and it is not a road that is always clear to the individual experiencing it firsthand. The first step is acknowledging that you’re ready to begin, and Stumbling Towards Inclusion holds your hand as you embark on this journey of understanding and inclusivity.
