The Weaponization of DEIB

The threads of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) are fundamental yet frequently misunderstood in the complex weave of professional life. What began as a beacon of hope for those of us on the margins has, painfully, been morphed into a tool that can entrench disparities under a veil of progress and be weaponized by those with ill intent. These principles are more than mere concepts; they are lifelines for communities of color and the very soul of our society.
