Today's episode is reflecting on a November 2021 blog post by Foreman & Associates, LLC that questioned if some companies are pushing heavily for Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI) positions and initiatives out of a realigned mission towards justice in all areas and walk of life or because they're just on a "let's be on the right side of history" bandwagon.

The episode explores this post and:
- today's Foreman & Associates blog post on leadership truths,
- what business leaders and managers should consider,
- the call to action for all leaders to reflect and assess, and
- an analysis of what is required to make organizations more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and driven by justice.

We're calling out bandwagoners as well as reminding marginalized groups that they too must be vigilant to ensure that their organizations are DEIJ-focused and not feel immune or exempt because they come from a group that has historically been oppressed.

This is a human issue not a racial, educational, economic, social, or religious one.

There are also some pretty cool quotes from the Education Pioneers, Albert Einstein, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Angela Davis, D.H. Lawrence, and James Baldwin. And you wouldn't guess it but we found a way to blend in a Looney Tunes cartoon episode. Yep, you read that right. You have to listen in to see what we're talking about.
