Authenticity, Belonging, Community

S5 Ep10 : We’re All On The Same Team | Michael Fosberg


Listen Later

Michael wraps up the 5th season of the podcast with some thoughts around the condition of DEI education in the United States today. He tells of how the pandemic and current political state of affairs has affected his business and that of others attempting to teach and speak out about identity. 


Key Takeaways

  • In 2020 former president Donald Trump labeled any and all discussions of race, slavery or racism as CRT (critical race theory) and subsequently banned them from schools. This is still affecting DEI training and race conversations today.

  • The floodgates opened after the supreme court struck down affirmative action. Edward Blum is the anti-affirmative action warrior who is filing suits to stop organizations from offering opportunities to historically marginalized groups.

  • Volatile reactions to diversity and inclusion hurt everyone.

  • We’re all on the same team.
