Ok- let's try this again. I am not consistent here because I have a business now and want to manage multiple accounts on mobile. #bluesky doesn't have this feature yet, and I have to log in every time- how do we fix this?

This time last year, I resigned from my job. Technically, I am still unemployed, but I feel better than ever and excited about two projects that reflect both my joy, healing and my passion for innovating DEI work. and I finished my website! www.katrinaelise.com

The same people claiming that #corybooker is being "performative" are the same people who said #dei was "performative". U can't treat justice, inclusion, or democracy like a meal at ur favorite restaurant critiquing real-time, energy,&effort from people who give a damn and back it up with action.

Watching Senator Cory Booker speak truth to power reminds me: rebirth is never just personal. It’s a collective calling.
We are here to name what must die—and design what comes next.

Sorry- not sorry. Stop giving your money to universities and institutions for DEI certificates. It's just a cash cow for them. There are too many professionals and activists who deserve your investment and can provide better quality education. But I get it- "your resume"...🙄

I'm reminded that my younger self already knew my path—before burnout, b4 external expectations, before I let systems define my worth. The real work is not just fighting for external change but reclaiming what was lost within.
Most aren't aware they lost something or don't want 2 admit it, will you?

"The anti-DEI movement isn’t just a policy shift—it’s an intentional strategy to erase progress while rebranding exclusion as ‘neutrality.’ The truth: Equity work doesn’t disappear just because institutions panic.

I spent 14 years championing belonging for others but forgot to create it for myself. Walking away from my job in DEI was more than a career pivot-it was a return to self. Have you been neglecting your own belonging? #Leadership #BlackHistoryMonth
