Members of Forge Teams attended a Power of Inclusion Luncheon led by Yo Sobha, the Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the YMCA of the Triangle this October.

Among the great thought-provoking group activities was a slide presentation on social group development. Sports teams immediately came to our minds!
Further research and discussion in the sports world is needed to help understand why, and dissect Social Exclusion and Social Closure. This form of oppression is often normalized and accepted among many elite sports leaders.
See below the slide that defines these terms in the Yo Sobha’s presentation.

Thank you Durham and Morrisville Chambers for connecting us on this important topic!
