Rewind Episode | Activist Jermaine Moore on DEI + Fatherhood

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are more than buzzwords—they’re at the heart of today’s cultural and political conversations. In a time when these topics spark both progress and polarization, it’s a conversation well worth elevating, especially for parents striving to shape the next generation. For parents who feel uncertainty around how to instill these values in your children, we've got your back. In this Rewind episode, Jermaine Moore, founder of the Mars Hill Group—a training, development, and consulting firm specializing in leadership and DEI—joins us. As a father of four, Jermaine brings not just professional expertise but also personal experience to the table. Together, we explore how to raise empathetic kids in a world that sometimes resists change.

Jermaine is Co-Founder of the Mars Hill Group, a New England-based consulting firm which specializes in leadership training, workplace culture, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Jermaine is a father of four children who are currently scattered across the world, and he shares candidly about what led him to this line of work, why it's so important and valuable, and how we as parents can actively exercise it and celebrate it within our families in order to raise empathetic kids.

• What is DEI? Jermaine defines diversity, equity, and inclusion
• WHY Jermaine is passionate about DEI work
