There’s a dissertation to be written on the org & cultural changes required to create stable, internally equitable systems for #DEI professionals & their work. This story about resignations at #Princeton is unfortunate but unsurprising, and a reminder that 2020 headlines about elite universities’ big $ responses to #BLM were just one episode in a still unfolding story. #blackmastodon

So here's one of the things I'm super interested in that's coming out of our recent pilot research with software teams: there's a big difference between "things that are hard, but we're good at solving them" and "things that are hard, in a way that absolutely kills our motivation."
How to infuse liberatory practices into the workplace… one of the best HBR reads of the year

How to Infuse Liberatory Practices into Work Practices

Many companies’ DEI efforts have stalled since they made big commitments in 2020. That’s because traditional talent practices — including recruitment and hiring, performance management, career development, promotion practices, and progressive discipline — were created to support business fundamentals that extract through domination and control. Instead of centering principles of extraction, organizations can embrace practices based in liberatory principles that change the shape of how we work together, moving away from the triangle of oppressive hierarchy and toward a circle of human connection and liberation. The author believes we can use theories of liberation inspired by the ideas and work of Black feminists and other thought leaders of color to find an alternative way of working together so everyone can thrive.

Is it playing hooky, work-life balance, or holiday spirit to take a hike on Thurs, Dec 22?

Too often Black folks, many times #BlackWomen, are tasked with being the voice of #DEI reason in their organization.

Where are those 2020 #diversity initiatives and commitments today? Are those employees even with the company still? Or did they #burnout after realizing their efforts were falling on deaf organizational ears? 🤔 😣
