# Miss the “Do” conversation about the diversity, equity, and inclusion in Portland?

If you missed the opportunity to participate in the conversation about the “Do. Do more. Do better.” movement yesterday — which expanded into a broader conversation on the state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in Portland — [the session was recorded especially for you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG0lnFh_IGA).

I managed to live tweet a few quotes during the conversation which I’ve embedded below. Or if you’re interested in listening to the whole thing, the video can be found here:
