So, what I see sometimes in the DEI space is for
the people that are up on the stage, so to speak, lecturing us about our privilege are themselves
incredibly privileged. But they don't talk about class; they don't talk about their family of
origin where they had two middle class parents that love them and educated them; they don't
talk about their net worth and how much money they make doing these things. And so, they come
from a place of talking down to those who they call privileged without acknowledging their own
privilege, leading by example, and saying, "Hey, I'm a black woman and a lot of black women don't
have the opportunities that I had because I'm unbelievably privileged. I'm educated. My parents
love me. I'm worth a hell of a lot of money, and I want to talk about the women that didn't
have access to this kind of privilege." That's not the story we're being told. It's, "I'm a
black woman. I'm suffering because I don't have access to power." Hard stop. And that's where
I call BS on this whole DEI conversation.
