Feedback Friday: Is it time to redefine DEI initiatives in schools & workplaces?

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is often defined as a framework that advocates for the fair treatment and full participation of all people, with a special emphasis on groups who have been historically underrepresented, marginalized and/or discriminated against. There was an explosion of DEI initiatives in the aftermath of the shooting and killing of George Floyd.

However, many initiatives and programs are now under scrutiny, from college campuses to corporate America. Some experts believe it’s time to reimagine and redefine how DEI initiatives are developed and implemented.

On today’s Feedback Friday edition of “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” Rose is joined by Nzinga “Zing” Shaw, a veteran DEI consultant. They open up the phone lines and hear from listeners who weigh in about what’s working and what’s not working with DEI.
