In this episode, I dive into the intriguing history and ongoing challenges of workplace integration, sparked by the discovery of a 1960s book titled Integration is a B****. This book, filled with insightful cartoons, sheds light on the Black experience in corporate America during that era and draws unsettling parallels to today’s workplace dynamics. We explore why ERGs were founded, their critical role in supporting underrepresented groups, and why true integration extends beyond just increasing diversity numbers. Join me as I discuss the complexities of integration, the vital importance of community within ERGs, and the ongoing journey toward a truly inclusive workplace.
