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

Feb 13, 2025 | DEI, Easy A

  • Investigate private companies and discourage them from continuing their DEI programs.

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.
