Was Trump a DEI Hire?

As a long-time DEI practitioner, I find myself increasingly frustrated and truth be told annoyed by the way the media and politicians are misrepresenting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles. There’s a growing narrative that portrays DEI as a negative force, suggesting that diverse hires are only chosen because of their identity rather than their qualifications.

In this dynamic 4-hour masterclass, you will discover how to implement the GDC methodology and DEI framework to elevate your organization's inclusion efforts. The session provides practical strategies to align DEI initiatives with your company mission, vision, and goals while exploring critical techniques such as environmental scans, leadership engagement and metric-driven assessments.

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER

SHERRY D. SNIPES

Many of you know me as a former Fortune 500 Diversity & Human Capital Executive. I am honored to continue to impact the society through my work as a Social Entrepreneur and invite you to join me in the journey!

It has been ten years since I officially began the social entrepreneur journey with the launch of Global Diversity Collaborative and the Diversity Academy Awards (formerly the DANDI Awards). I am thrilled to continue the work that I started early in my career. I am creating a place for like-minded people to learn, share, collaborate and celebrate. This is also a place for EVERYONE to BE an ADVOCATE for diversity, equity and inclusion. If you don't know how and want to learn this is the place for you.

With that said, I am truly excited to launch the Diversitopia Network, continue to build the Leadership Institute and organize the 2025 Diversity Academy Awards and Socratic Executive Forum. Stay tuned for updates as we work together to make this a world where everyone can live, work and play harmoniously.

Sincerely,
Sherry Snipes
