Preserving Inclusion Amidst Political Backlash
Manage episode 407721627 series 2540922
As we witness institutions like the University of Florida and major corporations like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan scaling back their DEI efforts due to political pressures, are we allowing divisive rhetoric to overshadow the importance of creating inclusive environments where everyone feels valued?
My guest today, Netta Jenkins, is a leader in the DEI space. She embodies the spirit of challenging norms and advocating for change. Raised by immigrant parents from Liberia and having grown up in Rhode Island, Netta talks about her childhood experiences that led her to choose a career in DEI. We discussed what will be lost if DEI programs are slashed, who the biggest recipients of DEI initiatives are, and how DEI can be improved.

We do this by providing our listeners with authentic, unvarnished insights into the immigrant identity in America.
