Resist. They want us to be in fear and shrink as there is an all out assault on us. Blaming ever problem on DEI and labeling all blacks as intellectually inferior and undeserving of our positions. We resist by continuing to show up and refusing to allow this rhetoric to affect us. We resist by continuing to build community and look after one another. We resist by refusing to comply with fascism. It will get worse before it gets better but this is are not the first group of klansmen to run things

Absolutely. Staying strong, supporting each other, and refusing to be silenced is how we push forward. Community is everything, and we uplift one another by continuing to excel, take up space, and demand what we deserve. They want fear but let’s give them resilience instead.

I think we all should know that more than half of us didn’t get our jobs cause of DEI and it never has really benefitted us. But I agree with everything.

DEI was created for the LGBT community. I wish we wouldn’t try to impose ourselves into every issue in this country.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left.
