About INVERSITY
Diversity without Division.
For over a decade, Karith Foster has been delivering a diversity program called Stereotyped 101 that blended humor, audience participation and personal stories to engage people on sensitive topics— combining her background as a stand-up comedian with her passion for true inclusivity.
This program has since evolved into INVERSITY — the inverse of the word “Diversity,” which has divide/division at its root. Division is exactly what we see happening when diversity is done poorly— that includes checking a box, wagging a finger or placing blame and shame.
“My goal is to take the division out of diversity by shifting the focus from what separates and divides us to what we have in common,” Foster says.
“It's not hard work, it's heart work.”

authentic, honest and impactful."
