Building sustainable systems by connecting social issues to business outcomes.

Much of the opposition to DEI is based on the premise that a Black person with any measure of power or authority will automatically treat white people like white people with power have historically treated Black people.

As a reminder: poor people are poor because they don’t have money, not because they don’t know the advantages of a ROTH IRA vs a Traditional, or the differences between a bond and a CD. We need wealth redistribution through equitable programs.

[Dr. Ijeoma Nnodim Opara, MD, FAAP, FAIM @innodim]

I’m flipping the narrative on Black Maternal Mortality to Black Maternal VITALITY!!! Black women & birthing people do enjoy healthy, joyful, vibrant pregnancies, deliveries, & postpartum periods & those stories must be celebrated. Stories of full abundant life!

More to come…

I will die on this hill.

DEI and abstract social justice narratives give antiBlack racist students and scholars an institutionalized place to hide.

Wonder when "underrepresented" VC's will invest in solutions that truly influence civil rights/human rights issues.

building a machine learning model on top of shoddy social science findings is a deadly recipe for disaster

Where is the Black founder friendly term sheets?

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, but to drive home the point maybe it should be rebranded as Black Women’s Unequal Pay Day. Thanks @PowherNY for raising the issue that Black women workers must also benefit from the billions of fed $$ allocated to infrastructure improvements

Non-profits are a capitalist solution to capitalist problems. They are not here to liberate anyone, quite the contrary. When the pandemic hit & ppl were losing jobs executive staff at my job said “well at least it’s good for us bc we’ll get more contracts for more shelters” LMFAO

[Deadric T. Williams @doc_thoughts]

All I'm saying is: Civil rights legislation was about *trying* to change the behaviors of people racialized as White rather than rectifying the structural conditions of people racialized as Black. Thus, racial inequality persists.

@OfficialBBrooks So what is the plan if those in power don't care about 1-10?
