In my last article, I shared my personal journey through 5 years of Long COVID. In this follow-up plot twist, I discovered the healthcare system might be sicker than I am. In 'When the System Becomes the Symptom,': medical gaslighting, structural inequities, and the power of trauma-informed care.

Immigration and nationality act 1965. What it was meant to do where progress stalled and why DEI still matters. Voting rights act 1965. What it was meant to do where progress stalled and why DEI still matters. Educational Equity: Ongoing school segregation through unequal funding and resource allocation undermines Brown v. Board's vision of equality. Pay Equity: Wage gaps persist despite the Equal Pay Act, with women earning far less than white men. Legal rollbacks in DEI programs threaten strategies to reduce pay disparities. Civil Rights: Investigations into workplace DEI efforts intimidate organizations, weakening anti-discrimination protections established by the Civil Rights Act. Voting Rights: Rulings & loopholes continue to weaken the Voting Rights Act, opening the door to exclusionary voter ID laws, voter purges, and polling closures in marginalized communities. Immigration Inclusion: Efforts to reinstate discriminatory immigration bans and quotas favoring certain countries over others based on things like religion and skin color threaten the INA’s push for fair and equitable entry to The American Dream. The dismantling of DEI initiatives serves to protect the priviledged few while denying opportunities to everyone else.

Here I am with Part 2 already, because I just couldn't wait to share. I am reminded how much changed during my mother's life thanks to the activism of the 60s. DEI is good for everyone.

…live up to the aspirations of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice and belonging.
I have no intention of letting my decades of work be rolled back w/out a fight. Part Two coming soon. 2/2
Indian citizenship act OF 1924 slide details what it was meant to do where progress stalls and why DEI still matters Executive Order 9981 of 1948 slide details what it was meant to do where progress stalls and why DEI still matters Final slide summarizeswhy DEI still matters in relation to all of these things: Voting Rights: Restrictive voting laws and gerrymandering continue to disproportionately impact marginalized communities, undermining the 15th and 19th Amendments. Workplace Inclusion: The rollback of federal DEI initiatives threatens gains in workplace diversity, equity, and protections against discrimination for people from all historically marginalized groups. Indigenous Rights: Voter suppression tactics, subjecting them to ICE interrogations, abusing resources, & more, continue to disenfranchise Native American communities. Military Inclusion: Policy debates and challenges to LGBTQ+ rights and even whether women can continue to serve raise concerns about the erosion of inclusivity within the armed forces. Part two coming soon

Join me for a trip down memory lane as we recall what hard won rights our ancestors secured for us. #DEI has existed under many different names, but has always been about expanding who has access & rights. As a Culture & Belonging Consultant, I’ve witnessed how far we still have to go to… 1/2

No matter where you are on the spectrum of support for DEI I find there tends to be a good deal of mythology, misinformation, and misunderstanding around the objectives. In my work as a Culture and Belonging Consultant, I'm here to tell you DEI is good for ALL of us. www.linkedin.com/pulse/debunk...

I feel SO annoyed when people who know better still refuse to do better. Alt text and capitalizing hashtags for basic accessibility do not take too long & are cool. Would a very cool person like me (see pic) with limited time, steer you wrong? Don’t be ableist (and don’t steal my look). #Disability
A school photo of me as an obviously cool child wearing a green + rainbow sweater.Her hair is braided and for some reason her bangs are parted down the middle. Her teeth kind of look like a rabbit and her ears definitely don’t stick out.
