What if we stopped accepting the way things are in our workplaces? My conversation with Daisy Auger-Domínguez reminded me that real transformation isn’t about fitting into the system—it’s about challenging it. DEI is about creating environments where everyone, regardless of background, feels respected and has space to thrive. While the current landscape of DEI in the US faces serious pushback, this is just the beginning—the fight for real change is on.
