Why DEI Matters in Business and Beyond

I love the month of June—from ushering in the official start of summer to Pride and Juneteenth celebrations filling the New York City streets with joy and community to warm weather and more time spent outdoors, it feels like a natural time to re-energize, lift the spirits, and look forward with a sense of purpose and hope. Even so, I can’t help but feel reflective, as we’ve just passed the one-year mark of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. And while it can be all too easy to feel discouraged given what we’ve lost, from experience, I know the quicker I take a step in the right direction (no matter how small it may seem), the sooner I can generate the momentum needed to keep pushing onward. So let’s talk about a way many of us—business owners and anyone who has a voice in hiring decisions—can have a real impact and be a part of reshaping the world for the better.
