Who are some of the inspiring DEI speakers you've seen this year?

I'm looking for a speaker for an upcoming manager meeting to speak on threading the needle for people managers and allies.

Can you say more about what you mean? I don’t understand what “threading the needle” means to you.

Yeah - I could have been more clear
I'm looking for someone who can speak on how to be an effective ally from a people Manger perspective. Tips for hiring and developing diverse teams and tips on creating an equitable culture

In general, I've found that speakers are overpaid to repeat the same talking points constantly. Money is better used elsewhere.

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?

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?
