This week the Bail Yourself Out Podcast host Kandice Whitaker is welcomed by the ultra-talented Dr. Elvin Ramos, a dean at De Anza College, a certified social scientist currently working on his second doctorate. On this week's podcast, DEI training - once considered progressive yet innocuous, has suddenly become a hot potato in the political landscape, thanks to Florida Governor Ron Desantis and others like him. However, Kandice and Dr. Ramos analyze the actualities of DEI policy in practice, the good and bad, and the overall importance of inclusionary workforces and educational institutions.
Is DEI the new affirmative action? Is it more effective at HBCUs than PWIs and corporate America? If so, why? Are certain institutions checking diversity boxes to "appear" as problem solvers? Kandice and Dr. Ramos dig deep, exploring DEI at lengths to bring the greatest understanding to those questions.
In addition to all things DEI, Kandice and DR. Ramos also discuss how our origin stories impact our present circumstances and the choices we make in the present. Giving back to the community, outgrowing family and friends, and creating new support systems are all on the agenda. Finally, the hosts finish with a discussion on the non-profit Global Tassels, its core mission, and the special meaning it holds for them.
So the Bail Yourself Out lounge is open, drinks, knowledge, and a good time is virtually free, so enjoy the pod.
