Truth to Power: 16 Attorneys General Stand Up for DEI

Read Now

The battle over Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) is intensifying, but a coalition of 16 Attorneys General (AGs) is pushing back against efforts to dismantle workplace diversity programs. On February 13, 2025, these AGs issued a powerful guidance document reaffirming that DEIA initiatives remain legal, beneficial, and essential for businesses across America.
A Bold Response to Executive Orders

With the Biden administration out and Trump’s presidency bringing over 70 executive orders—many targeting DEI—corporations face increasing pressure to eliminate inclusive policies. However, the 16 AGs, led by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, are making it clear: businesses have every right to continue DEIA efforts.
Their statement pushes back against the federal government’s attempts to intimidate companies into compliance, reminding employers that DEIA programs are not only lawful but also critical for reducing workplace discrimination, improving company culture, and strengthening economic growth.

The 16 Attorneys General Include:

Illinois – Kwame Raoul. Co-Sponsor
Massachusetts – Andrea Joy Campbell Co-Sponsor
Arizona – Kris Mayes
California – Rob Bonta
Connecticut – William Tong
Delaware – Kathy Jennings
Hawaii – Anne Lopez
Maine – Aaron Frey
Maryland – Anthony Brown
Minnesota – Keith Ellison
Nevada – Aaron Ford
New Jersey – Matthew Platkin
New York – Letitia James
Rhode Island – Peter Neronha
Oregon – Ellen Rosenblum
Vermont – Charity Clark

10 Key Takeaways from the AGs’ Guidance:

DEIA is Legal – Efforts to promote workplace inclusion are protected by law.
Myths vs. Reality – DEIA is not about illegal hiring quotas but about fair opportunity.
Workplace Discrimination Exists – Over 285,000 discrimination complaints were filed in coalition states alone.
The Business Case – DEIA improves profitability, innovation, and employee engagement.
Best Hiring Practices – Structured evaluations and panel interviews reduce bias.
Retention Through Inclusion – Employee Resource Groups and mentorship programs boost workplace morale.
Limits of Federal Overreach – Executive orders cannot dictate private-sector DEIA efforts.
Talent Attraction Strategy – Inclusive companies attract and retain top talent.
Economic Growth – Businesses like Costco prove DEIA drives financial success.
Next Steps for Business – Companies should remain committed despite political challenges.

The Fight Isn’t OverNow is the time for businesses and individuals to stand firm. Advocacy groups, legal professionals, and everyday citizens must push back against DEI rollbacks by protesting, calling legislators, and staying informed.
The message is clear: Diversity is not illegal. Inclusion is not optional. Equity is not expendable.
Stay engaged, stay vocal, and continue the fight for DEIA!

Dr. Kathryn Johnson Coleman (United States) – Former corporate executive, HR leader, and founder of IC Consulting.
Professor William “Lez” Henry (United Kingdom) – Speaker, author, and founder of PWH Consultancy Services Ltd. and the National Independent Education Coalition.

Their expertise and lived experiences brought depth to the conversation, inspiring attendees to reflect and take action within their own communities.
The Driving Force Behind the SummitThe US UK Summit on Race Series is made possible through the dedication and hard work of an incredible team. I am honored to work alongside these two brilliant professionals who are committed to fostering meaningful dialogue:

Garth Dallas (Liverpool, England) – Attorney, diversity professional, and anti-racism expert.

In the presence of 67 million worldwide viewers, The Great Debate, like no other, resulted in spectacular results earlier this week when Vice President Kamala Harris presented her reasons why she would make a better President than former President Donald Trump. The results weren't even close. Harris, who won the debate, dealt a crushing blow to Trump who didn't want to shake her hand at the beginning of the event, never looked her in the face, and never called her by her name.

Carole walks you through a play-by-play commentary of who said what and how the candidates answered each question. ABC's David Muir and Linsey Davis were effective moderators by both asking solid questions while fact-checking live when the answers didn't match up.

Even if you missed the live broadcast of the debate, this podcast offers a comprehensive review of the entire event, from its commencement to its conclusion. So, whether you're settling in with a bowl of popcorn or gearing up for a workout, get ready to delve into the stark differences between these two candidates!

From LGBTQIA to she/her/hers, the language, descriptions, and ideological frameworks are ever-evolving. Gender identity is separate from gender expression. And these categories are also separate from sexual orientation. I self-identify as a cisgender woman whose sexual orientation affirms my attraction to men. What does all this mean? And how do you use the word "they" when referencing a single person??

It's Pride Month, June 2024, and we will deep dive into the LGBTQ community to understand how Religion, Resistance, and Relationships have defined the strength and resilience of this group despite the attacks aimed at curtailing and destroying their very existence.

Be sure to listen to Episode #35 where I present the foundational platform for the LGBTQ community.

As a diversity professional, I've had my own transformative journey of understanding and embracing LGBTQIA community. It's a process that requires a deep dive into upgrading your language and perspective. I urge you to embark on this journey of self-discovery, to truly 'know the self'. This self-awareness will help you understand your own place on the spectrum before engaging in meaningful conversations with others.

Juneteenth Explained

0 Comments

Read Now

Celebrating Juneteenth is a relatively new tradition for me. Not because of its significance or historical value but more in alignment with regional awareness. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and most African Americans who grew up in the Motor City in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s traced their roots to the Southeastern US states. My family hailed from Georgia and South Carolina before migrating to Detroit. Our story was a bit different from those that originated in Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and especially Texas. Blacks from those states typically migrated North to the middle of the country and westward when African Americans sought refuge from oppressive Southern racism between the early 1900s and 1970.*

I knew of very few Juneteenth celebrations in Detroit. It would be years later when I fully understood the importance of the day that finally set Texas slaves free. And that recognition has grown to admiration and honor for some 250,000 slaves who heard the news of their freedom two and a half years after President Lincoln freed them via the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is America's second Independence Day. That phrase was coined by the activists who worked tirelessly to elevate Jubilee Day, now known as Juneteenth, to respectable levels of honor, dignity, and liberation. It took 156 years to make Juneteenth a federal holiday when President Joe Biden signed it into law on June 17, 2021. Now is the opportunity to celebrate the "rebirth" of a people whose shackles were finally lifted by General Order No. 3 on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas.

Juneteenth is synonymous with celebration. It gives permission for Americans everywhere to barbecue, have fish fries, drink red soda, dance, and spread good news while you party all night. I went to my first Juneteenth community event at Boston's Franklin Park on June 15, 2019. Thousands of Black, Brown, Asian, and White metro-Bostonians gathered at Franklin Park in family groupings, sororities, fraternities, and civic organizations for a daylong love fest in tribute to Juneteenth. It was pure love and fellowship, and now, five years later, I can't wipe that smile off my face. The pandemic prevented the festivities from taking place in 2020 and 2021. However, the Juneteenth celebrations resumed at Franklin Park on Saturday, June 18, 2022.

Heavy rains minimized the June 17, 2023 festivities, and I missed the event altogether. However, Juneteenth was celebrated on Monday, June 19, 2023, in Brockton, Massachusetts, where they've held festive ceremonial events for many years.

This year, the Brockton organizers have hot, sunny weather, and I will attend and participate in their fifth-anniversary event later this afternoon. And this year's Franklin Park celebration on Saturday, June 15, 2024 was spectacular! Warm sunny weather, thousands of party-goers of may ethnicities, and guest appearances from Governor Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.
In her book, On Juneteenth, historian, Harvard law professor, and native Texan Annette Gordon-Reed said it this way:

"People of African descent, and to be honest, of some European descent, celebrating the end of slavery in Texas with dishes learned in slavery and a dish favored by ancient Mesoamerican Indians that connected Texas to its Mexican past; so much Texas history brought together for this one special day."

Professor Gordon-Reed says it best. Juneteenth throws off the shackles of slavery and brings all people together with food, fellowship, and fun. That spirit signifies the second Independence Day for all Americans, including those in the Black Community.

Juneteenth represents the freedom of not just Black people but all Americans to live their lives in the spirit of cross-cultural understanding. That celebratory day in Galveston, Texas is as important in our lifetime as it was way back in 1865.

Tribute To Professor Charles Ogletree, Jr.

1 Comment

Read Now

August 19, 2023, marked the sad farewell homegoing celebration of a great American. I was privileged to be honored with Professor Charles Ogletree during a Boston Red Sox game in August 2016, along with other community and civic activists. In March 2017, I honored Professor Ogletree during my Black History Empowerment Breakfast. He was a great lawyer, Harvard Law School professor, social justice advocate, and adviser to President Barack and Michelle Obama. Most importantly, he was the treasured husband of Pamela Ogletree, father, grandfather, and longtime member of St. Paul AME Church in Cambridge before Alzheimer's caused his family to move to Maryland.

Charles Ogletree, Jr. was the Harvard Law School Jesse Climenko Professor of Law and Founding and Executive Director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice.
Professor Ogletree was the author and co-editor of several books, including The Presumption of Guilt: The Arrest of Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (June 2010 Palgrave MacMillan), When Law Fails: Making Sense of Miscarriages of Justice (2009), From Lynch Mobs to the Killing State: Race and the Death Penalty in America (2006), and All Deliberate Speed: Reflections on the First Half-Century of Brown v. Board of Education (2004).

Ogletree was born on December 31, 1952, to Charles Sr. and Willie Mae Ogletree, the first of their five children. He grew up in a rural northern California community called Merced, with a small African-American population living south of its railroad tracks. His maternal grandparents, Big Daddy and Big Mama, were an essential influence on the young Ogletree. With his grandfather, he would fish for hours, and from Big Mama, he learned how to cook and, thus, learned self-sufficiency.

He would later credit both grandparents as profoundly influencing his demeanor and tactics as a trial lawyer. However, Ogletree's parents' marriage was plagued by periodic violence, and they eventually divorced, although they remained on good terms.

A bright child who spent free hours in the public library and brought home good grades from school, his first brushes with the law—especially watching his father being taken away in cuffs after incidents of domestic violence at the Ogletree house—instilled in him a deep distrust of and feelings of powerlessness toward the law enforcement community.

Professor Ogletree graduated from high school and earned an M.A. and B.A. (with distinction) in Political Science from Stanford University, where he was Phi Beta Kappa. He also held a J.D. from Harvard Law School. He also received honorary doctorates from several universities and colleges, including Cambridge College, Wilberforce University, the University of Miami, the New England School of Law, Lincoln College, Tougaloo College, Mount Holyoke College, and Amherst College.

May his legacy be remembered by us all forever. Well done, my good and faithful servant. Well done.
