DEI Under Fire: Myths, Realities, and the Fight for Inclusion

In this episode of "Well, Since You Asked Me...", we dive deep into the evolving landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and the challenges it faces in today's political climate. Joined by Karen and Herman, we explore the impact of recent policy changes, Supreme Court rulings, and corporate responses to DEI initiatives.

Our guests bring their lived experiences to the table. Karen has spent years successfully leading training teams. She, along with her late wife, is and was deeply involved in the arts and culture scene in Austin, Texas. Herman, an active DEI advocate and corporate trainer, has been married to his husband for nine years, and they call Southern California home. Both share insights on bias in hiring, the myth of reverse discrimination, and why true inclusion strengthens workplaces rather than divides them.
