In today’s rapidly changing landscape, it’s not enough to have a vision for social change - that passion needs to be backed up by excellence in execution. At Reuters Events Responsible Business USA this week, I participated in a panel about “Shifting from good intent to good outcomes”. I was able to speak to DAI’s decades long and global perspective in impact and in particular, the project I lead #StriveUSA. How do we know when collabortion can drive greater impact? ✔️When collective impact matters in tackling social problems ✔️When fragmentation threatens inclusion ✔️When partners are able to shine in their individual strengths for a network that’s more than the sum of its parts That’s what we’re aiming for alongside Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth in our #StriveUSA implementation and it is exciting to see folks resonate with our goals at this week’s conference.

In my journey through the tech world, from managing a global ERG program at Airbnb to tackling DEI and community initiatives at Brex, I've observed a trend. DEI, once a rising star in tech company goals and iniatives, now seems to be on a decline. As a black professional, I've often still found myself to be the "only one" in many DEI conversations, revealing a stark reality: these spaces, despite their intentions, have not effectively advanced the voice of black individuals in tech. Recent remarks by Elon Musk, challenging DEI as a form of "reverse discrimination", have sparked controversy and debate. These comments reflect a deeper, often overlooked issue in the DEI narrative. Despite accusations of DEI being a vessel for reverse racism, the benefits of these initiatives often primarily reach white individuals from diverse gender and sexual orientations, leaving black professionals like myself still significantly underrepresented. Articles from TechCrunch (Tech's DEI backlash is here) and CNN (DEI efforts are under siege) offer insightful perspectives on this decline. They highlight how economic pressures and changing corporate attitudes are impacting DEI initiatives in big tech firms. My experiences suggest that despite the initial surge in DEI efforts, the actual impact on creating a more inclusive and equitable environment for black professionals has been limited. But here's food for thought: Is the diminishing priority of DEI in the workplace another ploy to silence and erase the contributions and needs of people of color in the tech industry? Do you feel that DEI initiatives have made a tangible difference, or are we witnessing a retreat from the commitments made just a few years ago?
