In this episode of the "Persevere to Excel" podcast, we reflect on the "ALL In" podcast episode that centered on the notion of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) needing to end. During my reflection, I delve into some of the key themes from the "ALL In" podcast, unpacking various topics they explored: Meritocracy, the impact of DEI on Hollywood, Color Blindness, and the pursuit of building a just world.

In this Podcast I talk about experiences I have had in the last 10 years with buying homes and making bad financial decisions. You can't allow failures be your identity. It is about what you do with what you learn through the failures what will allow you to fail forward.

In this podcast, I talk about the comparison people make between one underrepresented group to another. We also talk about my identity after living in the US for 22 years. Do I consider myself an African American from America or a Congolese African? I end with talking about the important of coming along side people to learn about their experiences instead of imposing your perspectives on them.
