The DEI Hire Trap: Why Your Seat at the Table Is Under Attack | Episode 51


Listen Later

DEI is being rapidly rolled back across corporate America, creating a toxic, hostile environment where the competence of minority leaders is constantly questioned. Mamuna and Lola share the unfiltered truth about being confronted with the "DEI hire" insult and why you must refuse to shrink to protect your career.


💡 We cover:

  • The rapid rollback of DEI and why these conversations are "radioactive."
  • Why the "DEI Hire" insult is a coded attack on your competence.
  • The data proving diversity drives profitability (and why it's ignored).
  • The essential need to reclaim your narrative and prioritize self-loyalty.
  • (Bonus) The irony of "decentralized" Web3 services failing during a cloud outage.
