Manage episode 493340898 series 3676174
DEI is one of the most polarizing topics in today’s political, corporate, and social landscape. In this episode of Top Voice Tuesday, I sit down with Janelle Benjamin, DEI strategist and founder of All Things Equitable, to explore the evolving realities of workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We discuss the growing pushback against DEI, how political shifts are influencing corporate strategies, and why businesses that prioritize inclusion see stronger long-term success. Janelle also shares insights on leadership buy-in, overcoming misconceptions, and the role of mentorship in fostering workplace equity.
Whether you support or question DEI, this conversation unpacks the critical issues shaping its future.
