DE&I initiatives once championed as a force for workplace equity and growth are now being condemned, sidelined, and stripped of their visibility—at least until political winds shift again. But at what cost?We invited Margaret Spence, an expert and advocate for transformative and inclusive change, to discuss the cost of these reduced investments and what organizations can do to respond.

In today’s episode, we explore the treatment of women and minorities as a key element in the consolidation of power in Nazi Germany and revolutionary Cuba. Through a thematic comparison, we examine how Hitler’s racial policies, including the persecution of Jews, and the role of women in Nazi society helped solidify his regime. In contrast, we look at Fidel Castro’s promises of racial equality for Afro-Cubans and his efforts to promote gender equality, alongside the realities and limitations of these reforms.

It's time to do more than survive! As we move toward the end of the year, it’s time to assess where you are in your career and begin the process of moving toward your renewed goals. Many of you are still in survival mode. Some of you are in the cul-de-sac of your career. Others are in the whirlwind of undefined expectations.

What happens when women fail on the public stage? Two days ago, I predicted that the British Prime Minister wouldn’t last until the end of the week. Of course, I’m sad that I was right. But her public demise should make every woman take a moment to think about their own rise and potential fall. When women rise, are they adequately supported?

What kind of support do I need from my community to rise? What type of support should I expect from us – my people? If I ask for help, will I get it at a deep level?

The normal narrative around DEI goes something like this, “Organizations must make diversity not a nice to have but a key advantage in your organizations’ core mission, corporate and social responsibility, and because it’s the right thing to do.” Nowhere in that discussion do we add equity.  In this episode, Margaret Spence will follow up on last week's episode, where she discussed the collective impact of equity. This week we will define equity as fairness and justice achieved through systematically assessing disparities in opportunities, outcomes, and represent...2022-10-2448 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE29: The Collective Impact of Equity for Professionals of ColorIt just seems that equity isn’t a high-level discussion in the DEI space. Most DEI practitioners focus on creating diversity, building inclusion, and talking through equality but then stop short of addressing equity within their organizations. Why aren’t we leading off with equity before talking about diversity?  In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will discuss what equity means at every level of the organization and why we must address equity as the foundational level of any DEI work. We cannot be afraid to talk about equity. Given that we are days past Black Women...2022-10-2144 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE28: Who Believes In You?Besides your parents, your family, and friends, who believes in you? Who believes in your vision, your purpose, and your possibilities? Who believes that you can be a leader? It’s imperative to determine very quickly if your leaders believe in you. As a person of color, the organization we work for must believe in us. Without ardent supporters, you will never advance beyond the employee desk. Therefore, having someone who believes in you, who is willing to give you directions that are meaningful, and who is objective is a mandatory component of advancing your career. In th...2022-10-2043 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE27: How Will You Rewrite the DEI Story to Build a Different Narrative?How can DEI survive if the story's narrative assumes that we are less than and need help becoming more than? In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will address how we narrate the DEI story. She feels that our DEI Story cannot be "Poor, pitiful you," and along comes a big organization to rescue us from ourselves. The story doesn't define the people – the DEI data is a person – the process requires not only vision but compelling storytelling – most people don't know how to reframe the story. But we should teach them because it's our story. ...2022-10-1941 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE26: We Can Say No! The Art of Saying What You FeelSeason 2: Inclusion Unscripted - Saying No Even When It Hurts Us.  Over the last three months, I've taken the position that I can say no. No – it's final, almost fatal, but I've said it repeatedly until it's now a comfortable position. When individuals reach out to ask me for help, it's okay to say no. At first, it was challenging to say no, but I realized the analogy of putting the oxygen mask on yourself first. Just as it is hard for us to hear no, it is even harder to say no. No seems final, direct, alm...2022-10-1935 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE25: Managers: Why Should Anyone Trust You With Their Career?If I accept your job offer, can I trust you to build the career I want? When an employee agrees to work for your organization, they are trusting you with their career even if you don’t acknowledge that fact. Unfortunately, within the hiring process, we often underestimate the level of trust that employees place in us. Unfortunately, we violate the trust based on how we treat candidates during the hiring process, and we further break it when they are employees. In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will discuss the critical question that po...2022-09-1543 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE24: Why You Must Question Your Career Now - Where Are You Going?Are you the only option for this job, or are you an option on the hiring menu?

In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will walk through 10 powerful questions that every high-achieving professional must ask and answer before they start looking for a job and when they are ready to advance their career. For diverse professionals and women, asking powerful questions can determine your success or failure, your ad...2022-09-1446 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE23: How We Fail Diverse Candidates During the Hiring ProcessThe multiple ways we fail diverse candidates, from Recruiting to Retention to Upward Mobility. This episode will focus on how we fail diverse candidates during the hiring process.  A recent Harvard Business Review study suggests that employers have unconscious biases that pull the wrong candidates into their recruiting funnel. However, building a diverse slate of individuals ready to advance in any organization starts and ends with recruiting. Therefore, we will take a hard look at recruiting talent and hiring practices.   In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will be joined by Keirsten Greggs, Founder, and CEO of...2022-09-1447 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE22: DEI Leader Burnout and TurnoverDiversity leaders are often the unsung heroes within organizations, working tirelessly to promote inclusion and understanding. However, this work can take a toll, leading to burnout, disillusionment, and frustration. How do we balance the outside crisis and the in-house challenges? In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence reflects on a key fact, Diversity leaders are not superhuman; we're simply human beings trying to make a difference in a sometimes hostile world. So, if you're wondering if we're okay, the answer is that sometimes we are and sometimes we aren't. And that's okay. The critical...2022-09-1347 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE21: The Existential Crisis Is Equity For Professionals of ColorWe’ve asked for more diversity but what we need is equity. We defined inclusion, we nuanced belonging, we begged for equality – it’s time to demand equity first. We should ask organizations to provide the numbers on what positions offer equity and how many women and diverse employees are in line for equity roles. Then we should demand more hiring into equity-tracked roles.  Equity is the economic foundation upon which true inclusion and equality are built. It provides the financial engine that drives diversity and inclusion forward, ensuring that every voice has a seat at the table...2022-09-1241 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE20: Who Wants DEI to Fail?One of the critical questions we must ask is, “Have You Been Given a Winnable Role?” Are you set up for failure, or are you empowered to succeed? If the option is failure when winning isn’t possible – Can You Fail? Critical questions for DEI Leaders.  In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will explore the tenets of failure within the DEI role, especially when diverse professionals occupy the role. Too often, we are given DEI positions in organizations where the deck is stacked against us, and the role is designed to fail, but should we fail with...2022-09-1141 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE19: Your HR Department Has No Diversity But Your Responsible for DEIYour organization wants to hire diverse candidates, but your Human Resources Department is not diverse. How do you create impactful diversity initiatives when the HR team lacks diversity? How do you empower DEI when there are no diverse voices in the hiring process? What should we expect if the HR team has no person of color and no member of any minority group in any significant role? Whew – that’s a lot to unpack, but it’s not abnormal.  In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will ask the bold introspective question, What if the entire human r...2022-09-1142 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE18: Professional Gaslighting and DisrespectThere isn’t a Black Women Alive Who Hasn’t Experienced Extreme Disrespect in Corporate Spaces. It doesn’t matter what role we occupy or our standing within the organization. Unfortunately, the fact that we are Black Women makes us an easy target for professional gaslighting. Even when we are perfect, have stellar credentials, and outperform the best of the best – we are treated with gaslighting disrespect. We are expected to sit in silence and accept the leveled BS against us.

Let's talk about Diverse Women Over Age 50, how organizations underappreciate their contribution, and why talent development must include women over 50.  In this episode of Inclusion Unscripted, Margaret Spence will discuss DEI from the lens of diverse women over age 50. The new normal is building women's leadership development programs for new entrants and young professionals without having programs specifically designed for diverse women over age 50. The untapped and underappreciated talent pool. When women over 50 started in their career, there were no talent development programs - today, they're still forgotten from d...2022-07-1842 minInclusion UnscriptedInclusion UnscriptedE17: Limits to Women’s Success - How Far Up The Ladder Can We Go?Can Women Support Each Other?

Many of you look to your organizations to validate your purpose. You want your boss to tell you that you're on the right track to advancement.

We are told that we must not express our feelings of anger, disgust, frustration, infuriation, and sadness when you violate our wellbeing. Unfortunately, this form of microaggression often goes unchecked. It is a subtle form of racism that disrespects and invalidates our experience.

Yes, HR, you are intentional, willful, systematic, and procedurally excluding Black Professionals from your internal recruiting strategy. Margaret Spence says in this episode, "You also allow your managers to deliberately hoard Black talent, preventing them from fulfilling their career growth and uplevel trajectory."  The biggest frustration for Black Professionals is the inability to move up within any organization and being told to wait your turn.

Most organizations don't even attempt to meet the mark of success - they're just running data points and wishing it all works out. In today's episode, Margaret Spence will talk about DEI success!

The real question is, can inclusion create reverse discrimination? Who will be offended because the room is more inclusive?

For some, the time is now, diverse professionals are fed up, and most organizations underestimate the level of resentment we have for them. But as Black and Brown professionals entertain new opportunities – there's reason to be cautious and calculating.

Is it equity or equality? I wonder if we're asking for the right thing. Are we looking for greater equality, or is it time to size up our equity stake in organizations? Within every organization, there are two sides of the house the profit center and the cost center. One side involves equity and the other fosters equality, most DEI programs are constructed around the concept of greater equality leaving the equity table to fend for itself.

As Aretha Franklyn said, RESPECT – All I’m asking is for a little respect. When managers fail to hire women or minorities – are you fixing a diversity program or a lack of respect for the contributions of women and minorities?
