A war is happening across the United States, and very few people know. Politicians and conservative academics are working towards dismantling DEI… and it’s setting a dangerous precedent.

CSR and ESG – Where does DEI fit?

DEI After 5 BlogBy Sacha Thompson (she/her)February 21, 2023Leave a comment

If you know me, you know how I feel about placing DEI in the organization’s Human Resources function. It is short-sighted and limits the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of the business – from employees to customers to the community.

Three Things for DEI Practitioners to Consider

DEI After 5 BlogBy Sacha Thompson (she/her)February 7, 2023Leave a comment

I love talking to other DEI practitioners about this work. Not just the day-to-day tactical aspects but what it takes to do this work.

DEI After 5 BlogBy Sacha Thompson (she/her)January 23, 2023Leave a comment

As a practitioner, I often find myself caught in the minutia of the daily DEI work. I think about the conversations I have, the programs I’m building or modifying, or analyzing data. But now and then, I think about DEI’s future. With everything happening in the world around us, what is the future of this…

How to be an Intentional Inclusionist – with Dr. Nika White

DEI After 5 Blog, UncategorizedBy Sacha Thompson (she/her)November 29, 2022Leave a comment

When I first started thinking about my business, The Equity Equation, I knew that the focus of the work had to go beyond marking checkboxes and counting the number of marginalized individuals within the organization. The work needed to be intentional. It had to foster change not just with individuals but through the company ecosystem.…

What about Equity in DEI?

DEI After 5 BlogBy Sacha Thompson (she/her)November 22, 2022Leave a comment

When I began naming my company, I thought about my conversation with my cousin, Lolita Chandler, on the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion. (You can check out one of our conversations here). In that discussion, we shared the sentiment that companies were fine in understanding ‘diversity’ and were working towards ‘inclusion.’ Still, they…

Some feel as if they…

The Importance of Coaching in DEI

DEI After 5 Blog, UncategorizedBy Sacha Thompson (she/her)September 27, 2022Leave a comment

Now and again, I come across practitioners at the same event that knows the same people or other people that are merging coaching and DEI, and I ask myself – How do I not know this person?! And through some great collision in the cosmos, we connect. That is precisely what happened with Tara Robertson…
