The 🇺🇸 Economy was built by Black FREE labor & there has been little effort to create a society that prioritizes our economic prosperity. (1/2)

President Trumps's new budget reflects yet another effort to misrepresent programs that help support the most structurally marginalized members of our community as “woke.” www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

“Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion is not a a threat, it’s a gift 🇺🇸”

Black History month is EVERY MONTH ✊🏾 🇺🇸‼️

A thought. Many of us are wondering why the Democrats are not taking a more vocal and hard stand? Maybe they’re wondering why we’re not marching outside the GSA, protesting the hijacking of our private information and that of our government by a private citizen. Maybe we all need to get moving.

On Tuesday I shared space w/ @keshaunpearson.bsky.social as a panelist during this year’s MLK Community Event sponsored by UVA’s Center for Diversity in Engineering. We discussed strategies for maintaining momentum toward justice in the midst of Trump’s distractions. “We Shall NOT be moved ✊🏾‼️”

This is America 🇺🇸….

Fostering work enviro. that allow EVERYONE to exp. belonging & mattering, has always been the objective of DEI. Our work is purposeful, data informed, & fair. I encourage org. leaders grappling w/ how to move fwd to remain steadfast in their commitment to DEI. The success of your org. depends on It.

“Diversity is OUR 🇺🇸 Strength 💪🏾✊🏾‼️”

We harness our innovation & ability to solve BIG social-cultural issues through diversity. Since 1964 the 🇺🇸 has sought to remove discriminatory barriers so the 🇺🇸 could benefit, especially economically. W/ these acts by the new admin., 🇺🇸 will definitely limit the ability to problem solve, globally.

The definition of double standard & an obvious example of who gets to have voice vs. who does not 🤔

What makes 🇺🇸 “great,” is its diversity; its ability to wrk twrds a democracy that includes ALL of its people. With the actions of this admin. we’ll need to use our collective organizing power and strategies to ensure diversity remains one of the 🇺🇸 greatest treasures. How will you use your voice?
