alt-text:

Title: Many DEI strategies and plans fail because they don’t understand: First orange circle with a book inside: that most DEI talks are abstract, not concrete. Second orange circle with three gears inside: twhat systemic discrimination is. Third orange circle with two semi-circular arrows pointing anti-clockwise inside: that systemic and subtle discrimination accumulates over time. Fourth orange circle with three concentric circles overlapping like a Venn Diagram inside: what intersectionality really means. Fifth orange circle with two hands doing a handshake inside: that opportunity and sharing power are the antidotes to discrimination.
