I’ve never reached out to a journalist about a review because I’m not entitled to the publication, but I’m close on this one.

I’ve been close with people in mbe/wbe, which falls under dbe. It’s important to note that no one HAS to do anything. It’s a goal.

Whatever you think of what’s going on in this country, at this point it’s been about a decade. It’s not going away through policies of appeasement while sticking your head in the sand.
But I guess if you’re okay with what this country values today, you’ve been getting incremental wins.
