I over-delivered on my final assignment at Black Enterprise Women of Power Summit with my beautiful colleagues, and took a ton of selfies. And as you know, this year,…

Not to be ominous, but the writing is on the wall. Maybe you’ve seen it in the sudden restructures, the quiet budget cuts, the shifting priorities that once placed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) leadership at the center of the corporate agenda—but now leave it on the outskirts, uncertain, fragile. Maybe you’ve felt it in the whispers of your colleagues, the ones who once stood beside you in the…
