The Equity Gap
Uncovering inequity. Empowering change.
Hosted by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practitioner Shahzia Noorally, The Equity Gap is where bold conversations meet transformative action. Through candid interviews with leading experts and thought-provoking solo episodes, Shahzia explores the real-world impact of systemic inequity—centering the lived experiences of equity-deserving individuals and challenging power structures across workplaces and beyond.
From race and gender to neurodiversity and anti-fat bias, each episode tackles hard truths and invites listeners to reimagine what equity really means—on personal, organizational, and societal levels.
Whether you're a DEI professional, a leader ready to use your privilege for good, or someone seeking to deepen your social consciousness, The Equity Gap will educate, unsettle, and inspire.
Join the conversation. Close the gap.

Why your path to finding fulfilling works requires a spiritual lens
“Your playing small does not serve the world.” - Marianne Williamson, a Return to Love
Our journeys as WOC look and feel different, but that does not mean that our worthiness is any less. Imagine the possibilities for your life if you stopped playing small.
I believe in the core of my being that if you’re struggling to come across work that fulfills you, if you’ve found yourself chasing career paths that paid you a lot of money but left you feeling empty or fulfilled your parents expectations of what you should do, but failed to give you that feeling of being lit up at the thought of going to work each day, that there is inner work to be done.
I truly believe that if something doesn’t come easy for you - be it love, relationships, career fulfillment, financial freedom, health, that it means you have to embark on a journey that requires you to do the inner work, and that’s why it’s important for me to start our time together on this journey to career fulfillment in a place of reflection and connection to something beyond that which you can immediately control.
The conversation in this episode lays the foundation for what's to come on this podcast and our journey together. Listen on to discover the connection between spirituality and your path to finding fulfilling work.
