Welcome to Week 4 of March, resilient souls! 🌱

Have you ever wondered how resilience is built when the systems we rely on are shifting or being dismantled? It’s one thing to face personal obstacles; it’s another when society itself seems to be moving backward on issues like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This week on the podcast, I’m diving deep into these questions with my returning guest, Gail Beltran Nott.

Gail, a Business Coach and Certified Professional Diversity Coach, is here to help us navigate the disruption happening in the DEI space. Recently, we’ve seen major moves by the new presidential administration that include the removal of DEI programs in federal agencies. Alongside that, Meta has also made significant cuts to its DEI initiatives, citing changes in the legal and policy landscape around diversity efforts. These shifts are sending ripples through society, especially as businesses, nonprofits, and even universities rethink their DEI strategies.

But DEI—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—isn’t new. In fact, its roots go all the way back to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, religion, sex, color, and national origin. The next year, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed an executive order requiring the federal government to actively ensure marginalized groups had equal opportunities in the workforce, correcting the inequities that had long been in place due to systemic discrimination.

While DEI has always been a controversial issue, it has historically been a push toward creating fairer, more equitable opportunities for everyone, especially those who were historically denied them.

This week's conversation is all about how we can continue to push for inclusion in the face of these setbacks. Gail and I talk about how resilience, community, and thoughtful innovation—especially through technology like AI—can help empower marginalized communities to break through barriers and drive real change, despite political disruptions.

Tune in as we explore how DEI isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a necessary framework for creating a more just and inclusive society, and how resilience, grounded in these principles, can help us rise above even the most difficult challenges.

Let’s dive into this empowering conversation!

Bonus

In preparation for my 2025 Amplify Authentically workshop series, on effectively utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT, I’m excited to offer you this free guide to help you create your authentic AI profile. This guide is designed to help you define your voice, tone, and presence before diving into AI-powered tools.

As women, we’re underrepresented in AI usage—data shows that men are using AI tools like ChatGPT more frequently than women. In fact, 59% of men use AI weekly compared to only 51% of women, with many feeling they need more training to fully embrace these tools.

But the truth is, AI is not just a "bro" thing! By understanding how to bring your authentic self into AI usage, you’ll be ahead of the curve, and together we can close this gap.
