Episode 103: IS DEI Leaving Black People BEHIND?

In this thought-provoking episode of In Tha Trenches, we explore a critical question: Is the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) movement leaving Black people behind? Despite the growing emphasis on diversity and inclusion, many Black individuals and communities continue to face systemic barriers and marginalization. But beyond the external challenges, are we fully capitalizing on DEI initiatives, or are we leaving doors open for others while we hesitate at the threshold?

We dive deep into the complexities of DEI, examining whether these initiatives truly address the unique challenges of Black people—or if they come with limitations and unintended consequences. Are we showing up, taking ownership, and proving our excellence in business, education, and leadership? Or are we missing opportunities that could push us forward?

Join the conversation as we break down real-world examples, challenge narratives, and discuss solutions to ensure that DEI doesn’t just sound good—but actually delivers for the Black community. Are these initiatives helping or hurting? Are we stepping up or sitting out?

🔥 Tune in, sound off, and be part of the movement. The time for honest, unapologetic dialogue is now. 🔥
