Is It Really a Fair Race
Hi there accomplices!
If you follow me on LinkedIn you may have seen this...
This past week, my LinkedIn post on DEI received over 100,000 impressions and more than 500 comments.
Among those comments, I saw plenty of pushback—claims that DEI is the reason racism still exists or that all decisions should be based solely on merit because DEI is "unfair." Some even misquoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., using his words—"not the color of the skin, but the content of the character"—while completely misunderstanding his message.
So, I asked a simple question: "Can you explain what DEI is?"
Instead of real answers, I got deflections, excuses, or silence.
That’s why I spent the past few days writing a new book, once again in upward elementary form, to explain DEI in a way that anyone can understand. I had my 10-year-old read it—he had no prior knowledge of DEI, yet after reading, he could clearly explain it.
My hope? That the "adult children" across LinkedIn—especially those who struggle to define DEI yet argue against it—might learn something. But that, of course, requires an open mind and a willingness to learn.
In the meantime, I leave you with this question:
"Is It Really a Fair Race?"
If you'd like to support my work as an author and get a copy of this book—whether to share with your child or to help educate that "meritoriously superb" colleague at work or in your family—Here is the link
Please share!
