Christian Stoehr’s Post

Repeat after me: DEI is not dead. DEI is not dead. DEI is not dead. Its value only needs to be defended when its real purpose is distorted. False narratives will never change the facts of our nation’s history — but they can debilitate our present and derail our future. The continued impact and inequities born from centuries of lawful, legalized, policy-supported discrimination, bias, and exclusion are real. So is the work required to address those inequities and create an equitable society that (at last) reflects the best of us. Imagine whom we could be if we collectively focused on creating a different future, rather than ignoring or revising a checkered past? Despite the steady drumbeat of disinformation, DEI is not rooted in blame, division, discrimination or the exclusion of anyone. It is not about snatching opportunities from one to compensate another. It’s about creating opportunities designed to lift all of us — not only some of us. DEI done right ensures everyone has the tools and support they need to meaningfully compete and meet their potential. Achieving this standard requires an unfiltered and truthful acknowledgment of where we’ve been and how we got here so we can build a fair and well-considered path to where we want to go. If you need inspiration for what to do and how to do it with purpose, innovation and business impact, take a listen below…hear how we’re doing things differently…and let’s get back to the work of doing the work. #cmo #doingdeidifferently #dei #diversity #equity #inclusion #marketing #communications #leadership
