About
Diversity Natives
Diversity Natives was founded by Britta Muzyk-Tikovsky on the verge of Diversity Day in 2016. She had been part of Annette Leonhard-MacDonald’s “Inspiring Female Founders” initiative which she took over from Annette.
Although women make up the largest part of underrepresented groups when it comes to diversity, Britta wanted to put the initiative on a broader basis and include everybody within the different diversity spectrums.
The reason: All diversity aspects are key in life and any business segment from startups to the corporate world - together with achieving inclusion and equality. It is also paramount to enable innovation that ensures sustainable solutions for our future.
The goal of Diversity Natives is to empower people and help them thrive by being able to use their diverse personal skills and character traits; to bring together likeminded people who jointly want to increase DEI and to help companies build teams with the right competency mix.
During the Diversity Natives Speakers Night events the community gathers to connect with inspiring speakers and discuss together how we all can foster diversity and increase inclusion and equality.
