Since 2020, American institutions from corporations to universities have dramatically expanded their DEI commitments.
But which approaches actually create meaningful change, and which merely provide the appearance of progress?
We'll contrast performative versus substantive DEI initiatives, showcase organizations making genuine structural changes, and provide metrics for measuring meaningful outcomes.
This conversation isn't about political correctness—it's about what actually works to create more equitable institutions.

The Features of Each Episode
Each episode features insightful analysis and authentic dialogue that cuts through the noise to deliver truth, perspective, and inspiration.
Truth
From music to language, fashion to food, sports to social media, Black cultural production has profoundly shaped American identity and commerce.
Yet a persistent paradox remains: incredible cultural influence hasn't translated into proportional economic benefit for Black communities.
We'll analyze the economic impact of Black cultural production, examine the disconnect between cultural influence and economic benefit, and explore strategies for ensuring that Black communities receive fair value for their cultural contributions
Perspective
A critical conversation about labor organizing in Black communities and how union strength correlates with economic stability.
We'll also examine how the two-party political system often fails to deliver meaningful economic change for marginalized communities.
Whether you're joining us from an urban center or a rural community, this conversation matters.
The economic challenges facing working Americans transcend political divisions, and today we'll explore how collective organizing has historically provided pathways to economic security, particularly for Black workers
Inspiration
n recent years, many organizations have embraced diversity initiatives based on market-driven arguments: diverse teams make better decisions, inclusive organizations attract better talent, and companies reflecting their customer base understand market needs better.
But how strong is this economic case, and what are its limitations? In this conversation, we'll present research on how genuine diversity improves business outcomes, analyze the limitations of purely market-based approaches to equity, and discuss how inclusion can address or sometimes obscure deeper economic inequities.
