In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of the African Triangle Initiative, we unpack the charged intersection of military policy, national leadership, and social equity. Sparked by the recent convening of the Department of Defense in Washington, D.C.—held in tandem with the Congressional Black Caucus' own summit—this episode dives into the complex, often contentious conversation surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
What does DEI really mean? How has its language been co-opted or misunderstood? And more critically—how has it been used both to empower and to marginalize? This isn’t just a critique—it’s a call to awareness, reflection, and action. Whether you’re a policymaker, service member, activist, or concerned citizen, this episode challenges you to interrogate your assumptions and engage with DEI beyond the buzzwords.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
