Show Highlights- Why LaTonya HATES Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?

"It's not diversity and inclusion. It has never been anything separate. If an organization is trying to make it separate, I question what they're trying to do there. It's really a part of culture. It's really a part of how you develop people. It's really part of structures and systems on how you run your organization?"
-LaTonya Wilkins
