Uncovering inequity. Empowering change.
Hosted by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practitioner Shahzia Noorally, The Equity Gap is where bold conversations meet transformative action. Through candid interviews with leading experts and thought-provoking solo episodes, Shahzia explores the real-world impact of systemic inequity—centering the lived experiences of equity-deserving individuals and challenging power structures across workplaces and beyond.
From race and gender to neurodiversity and anti-fat bias, each episode tackles hard truths and invites listeners to reimagine what equity really means—on personal, organizational, and societal levels.
Whether you're a DEI professional, a leader ready to use your privilege for good, or someone seeking to deepen your social consciousness, The Equity Gap will educate, unsettle, and inspire.
Join the conversation. Close the gap.
