What if the recent election outcomes signal a seismic shift for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in both corporate and political realms? As we brace for the impending Trump presidency and a Republican majority, we dissect the potential ramifications for DEI initiatives and draw parallels with historical contexts, like reparations for slave owners. With influential figures such as Stephen Miller poised to shape policy, we're left questioning the sustainability of DEI programs.
