How Diversity Equity and Inclusion DIED

This episode, I’m joined by a group of people designated as a Diversity Committee tasked with tackling the massive assignment of creating inclusion- this group has come on today to talk about how it ALL went wrong and we discuss VERY candidly how, in THIS extremely popular not for profit hippie festival, truly never intended for their DEI assignment to come to fulfillment.

May be a bit of a continuation of last week. There’s a big problem with white folx naming themselves Allies, and hiding behind an internalized sense to a right to comfort when the pressure is on.

The Liberal Lie

Today I chose to talk about the struggle of adhering to “tradition” and our internal moral dilemma of choosing something we are unfamiliar with, like a truly inclusive society. What stops us from choosing to let go of white supremacy’s patriarchal traditions- white supremacy’s tie to capitalism - what do we tell ourselves and how does that ultimately results in maintaining our struggle.

No Safe Space at the NAACP

This episode is a story highlighting the misuse of power by an all white executive team that led to using black experiences and vulnerability to appear as though the organization wasn’t relying on the culture of white supremacy to move its political agenda forward. Their actions tokenized a young woman, their hiring process demonstrates highly unethical practices and ended a standing trust within the community as a safe haven. Listen in.

Are White business' actually ready?
