EID Team Spotlight: Bella Vaughan

Meet Bella Vaughan!

Bella is a member of our Equity, Inclusion, & Diversity Team at Deckers Brands.

How do you empower others around you?

By being vulnerable and forthcoming. It’s important to not only create an environment of trust but to ensure that advocacy is at the forefront of every action. Togetherness is our company’s greatest strength. When our roots are connected, our growth is bountiful.

What changes in the DEI industry excite you most?

Companies being held accountable and forced to have a more conscious mind around the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion. A shift that’s been long overdue. It’s important that we fight for equal pay, for more representation, for accountability, for compassion and respect for one another as individuals.

How do you challenge stereotypes and misconceptions?

Through raising awareness to the conflicts and damaging history associated with those stereotypes and misconceptions. There’s a lot of unpacking that has to happen to truly change culture. We have to challenge and champion for each other to rid ourselves of unconscious biases and behaviors.
