Abstract
As a consultant who partners with and supports a variety of cultural organizations, I have observed a variety of ways in which people express their resistance to access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI). In this paper, I describe the ten myths and misunderstandings some folx in the arts have said when the passive aggressively resist ADEI work. In addition, I anonymously share key data points from climate surveys and focus groups and how I approached working with clients to devise a meaningful path forward on their ADEI journey. Lastly, I conclude by posing some philosophical and practical questions about how to collect critical and actionable data to strategically cultivate a culture responsive to ADEI.
