Merit, Identity and Leadership: Is DEI Under Siege?
In this episode, we explore the intense discussions surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris’ historic candidacy, focusing on the intersection of race, gender and the concept of "DEI hires." As the first woman of color nominated for president by a major party, Harris has become a flashpoint in debates about diversity, equity and inclusion. We dive into the vocal backlash, significant support and the broader implications these conversations have on our personal and professional lives. This episode unpacks how identity politics, meritocracy and DEI initiatives shape the evolving dynamics of leadership in America.
