One of the most oft-repeated phrases I hear from DEI practitioners is a warning against siloing DEI work. To meaningfully move the needle, diversity and inclusion require organization-wide backing from the C-suite to the entry level, they’ve often told me. Such a responsibility should not fall to just one person or just one team.
That thinking is partly why today’s newsletter will be the final issue of raceAhead. For years, raceAhead has highlighted the myriad problems facing historically underrepresented folks, their wins, successes, and firsts, and the private sector progress on DEI, as well as its regression. Fortune will continue to do so, but this time, across all of its coverage areas. Just as CEOs, CFOs, and other C-suite functions are expected to pick up the mantle of promoting equitable access, so, too, should diverse voices be featured across all journalistic offerings, not just one newsletter.
