Out of the Closet…
Opening up to other experiences, or cultures, is a way of growth. This is one of the reasons its such a big deal for people to be willing (and able) to come out as what they truly are: so that others can learn and still others feel a little less alone. DEI is how we break down those barriers between the majority and the minority groups in this nation. We only become stronger as a nation as we learn to trust each other, and learn from our past. Education, and exposure to other cultures and ideas, truly make us more resilient as a society.
When we have DEI, and we do it correctly, intercultural trust rises. When we truly can understand each other, we gain trust, and with trust, comes efficiency. This is our edge, and how we maintain power as a nation. We get into this in this podcast episode, and we get into those social investments called taxes.
