Brave Marketing Is Good Business When It Comes to DEI

A new report by Kantar “finds that cutting DEI out of a company’s marketing strategy can result in major losses and may already be costing U.S. businesses $5.4 trillion. Kantar’s ‘Brand Inclusion Index’ found that not only is there a financial advantage to a strong DEI strategy, but that there is still plenty of room to stand out.

The Day the National Guard Raided an HBCU Dorm

Our nation’s schools have an incredible responsibility when it comes to honoring Black History Month. All too often, they use a “heroes and holidays” approach. While this may be well intended, it has the effect of making Black students feel othered, as though they exist outside of the actual curriculum. A better approach would be to incorporate Black stories and voices into the year-round curriculum – and to incorporate Black students into the everyday classroom.
