Watch This: The Truth About Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

Feb 13, 2025 | DEI, Easy A

Well, that threat was intimidating enough to make at least one big company cave. By the end of the same week, Target announced that they’d be ending their programs supporting Black employees and shoppers, and Black-owned businesses.

The hosts of our The Suburban Women Problem podcast had some thoughts on all this! Take just a couple of minutes and give them a watch:

As we learned last week, DEI is good for all of us, and many people don’t realize the far-reaching consequences of ending DEI programs — intended or not. Next week, we’ll have a simple action we can all take to protect DEI initiatives in our communities.
