California just mandated a first of its kind diversity law that makes it illegal to not have diverse people on corporate boards - is this a good thing to do, or is it an Orwellian moment?
The term Latinx, despite popular media’s attempt to the contrary, seems to not be catching on with the very people it is meant to define. Should we keep trying for this new catch-all phrase, or should we put it out of its misery?
Anonymous diversity ratings are now part of job ratings websites - does this shine a light on places that need diversity help, or does it reduce diversity to an oversimplified report card that dumbs us down?
UBER, Ben & Jerrys and EA Sports all made bold moves in the diversity arena in the last couple of weeks… are they courageous or cringy? We’ll have a look…
