Defining True Belonging with Rachel Hyerim Sisco at Cisco

  • Summary

  • The intersectionality of our identities makes the concept of belonging a difficult idea to define but an important value to implement.


    In this episode, Rachel Hyerim Sisco, Senior Corporate Counsel – Employment Law at Cisco, joins host Callie McKee for a conversation about what belonging means for a transracial adoptee like herself.


    Rachel’s unique background affords her several important insights:


    - Belonging can be a triggering concept for people whose experience of belonging has not always been positive.

    - Our identities are rarely defined by one element, but instead are a complex intersection of many diverse parts of our experience.

    - It’s important to acknowledge our feelings of not belonging, rather than dismissing those experiences without adequately exploring their impact on us.

    - The hardships of others do not undermine your own pain and trauma.


    Defining belonging should always include listening to the experiences of those around us.
