Has anyone had the experience of trying to remind people of DEI and not let it get lost in the mix overnight, and then be labeled a snowflake, bitter, or a white savior, depending on who you are? Essentially, that you're some kind of political statement and not someone making a fair point?

Yes, I think supremacists, fascists, and bigots have done a great job equating being a decent person as a political standpoint. There was a brief time in history when it didn't matter the party or political standing, we saw that human rights and equality were important. Now, inclusion is now labeled as "woke" as if that is a bad thing.

This Part ^^. I don't know when being not a butt-monkey became being a snowflake. It is really is just a bunch of buzzwords to make people angry who have no idea why they are angry.

All the time - my best strategy is to bring it up in ways that don't "outright" scream DEI, but rather just as another perspective.

Proving the financial gain or positive impact of DEI is a good start per the respective projects. That’s always served me well when the cards were stacked. Measurable impacts and KPIs. The saying now is “go woke, go broke” so it’s now more important than ever to show those metrics. Additionally if you are able, attend a conference this Fall like Adcolor which arms DEI professionals with conversation and toolkits, workshops, etc. to have these convos and produce impactful results.

An Assistant Professor at Berkeley said it best, imo. She said that it's important to recognize when anyone (black or white) is being disingenuous because doing so hinders progress. Whenever folks overemphasize issues that aren't real or pertinent issues, that's a red flag.

I'm confused what this quote means, can you elaborate?

Additional Posts in Diversity & Inclusion

My company (biotech start up >50 employees) are looking to collect diversity data about current employees to provide to candidates when they ask about the company as well as to investors. Any thoughts on whether this is industry standard? What roadblocks to be aware of? Advice on how to go about this as meaningfully as possible?

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment. As is often the case, middle management and below is very diverse and then at Director+ it gets much more homogeneous. So far any real initiatives get shot down in favor of performative actions to post on SM. Is this just how it is, or can we try something different?

Feeling very frustrated right now…company talks a big game about DEI internally, while requiring new hires to move to Texas/Arizona, while the company’s PAC donates to politicians pushing extremist, regressive, anti-woman and anti-LGBT laws

They want to encourage us to “bring our whole self to work” while putting us in situations where we can’t be our whole self.

Anyone else in a similar place, feeling discouraged? Any tips?
