Is Diversity Real? We discuss and provide answers. An EdTech start up owned and operated by a black woman. But she's more than a black women: she's Dynamic!
A Lady and A Dream A Lady and A Dream A few words from the creator/founder and what she envisions to create for the future of work. The impetus for launching my business began as an internal question: where is all this diversity in the press?... https://t.co/CfWZwA7aBI
At the core, we want to get the word out so that more of us can access the funds + resources available to boost brown/black entrepreneurship! #EverybodyEats
I decided to start my @IsDiversityReal because I needed to fight back the heavy weight of hopelessness. I decided to create it in order to try my hand at attaining the dream of having my own business. I will build a community for BIPOC to learn the opportunities waiting for them
How is diversity/inclusion training going at @1800Accountant ? How are you measuring that the effectiveness? Is care and empathy even a core competency even practiced with employees?
#DiversityWhere?
Our founder just had the very rude experience with a @DunBradstreet business partner @1800Accountant! This is why we are here to really address the lies of the "support" for our minority and black entrepreneurs. #diversitywhere?
The rep was callous when speaking with our founder! The @1800Accountant disregarded our ability to "lean in" & be authentic in regards to our concern if he would speak in w/us in an unbiased tone of voice! He refused and disconnected the phone call?!
#DIVERSITYWHERE?
For our founder, the phone call triggered past employer experiences. Do you know how many people of color have to just smile and grin through bias and violent behavior?!
#DiversityWhere?
We always wonder if there is really care & thoughtfulness when it comes to offering services to the undeserved. So far, the disrespect continues and how can we expect other founders to press on?! This is also why the "lean in" philosophy does not apply to women
#DIVERSITYWHERE?
@Fund_Story To have the millions pledged by big business actually get into the hands of non-exempt and support staff in the BIPOC communities!!! Why don't we see more people in each of our neighborhoods starting businesses?!! Where is the $$$$?????
#DiversityWhere?
@MoniqueWoodard @CandiceBrackeen we would love 2 intv @CandiceBrackeen four our podcast to get the word out and start to apply pressure to big businesses to product better results in response to the millions pledged. May we contact?

I am a startup founder, minority owned and woman-led entrepreneur, the ideal target for the millions pledged by big businesses to help me launch a business.
Though such public gestures make for favorable optics it is not producing enough results. Plz Help!
