What's Going On With Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion In This Country?

This week, Morgan DeBaun is joined by her Blavity Inc. co-founder, Jeff Nelson for a candid conversation that spans from the reality of starting a business with friends to the importance of tuning in this election season. Jeff and Morgan start by sharing the story of how Blavity came to be, and they discuss whether or not they recommend doing business with friends.
They then delve into the current landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), discussing the disheartening resistance against diversity initiatives from influential figures. Despite how demotivating it may feel, Morgan and Jeff highlight how this resistance amplifies the significance of their work.
Shifting gears, the conversation takes a political turn as Morgan and Jeff share their insights on the upcoming election season and the potential impact of low voter turnout in the Black community. They candidly address the disconnect between the administration and voters, stressing the importance of civic engagement.
Finally, Morgan and Jeff explore the intersection of politics and artificial intelligence, particularly the treacherous landscape created by generative video technology. Jeff, as a tech expert, shares his concerns about the future implications of AI in politics, especially in the realm of propaganda and policing.
In a rallying call to action, Morgan and Jeff emphasize the importance of tuning in, staying informed, and voting-even when faced with imperfect options. Tune in to this insightful and engaging episode navigating the complexities of business, diversity, politics, and the ever-evolving landscape of AI.

I wasn’t sure this epi would resonate with me (The Title on Spotify). But after listening, I’m so glad I tuned in.
So many topics covered, and great information shared 😊

Such a good episode ✨

[@ashakireid931]

I’m glad you reminded Jeff to be candid. Just like you both said, you all are multi-layered people that work for yourselves. It’s hard to try and have a good understanding of the real when everyone is tip-toeing around being hush hush or overly politically correct. You’re definitely one of the few people that i know when i listen in, you’ll pull back that the curtain. Great episode, keep being amazing and spotlighting the fine details that are actually much bigger than others would imagine.
