When protesters took to the streets in 2020, it was clear—the status quo wouldn’t do. There needed to be a change, tangible and real, to how our government and our corporate structures do business. From reckonings in the media at Bon Appetite and the New York Times to a rapidly changing corporate landscape where more and more businesses are hiring diversity and inclusion officers to better shape their workforces and improve their initiatives around diversity.
