Corporate America's DEI initiatives are not what they seem! As Walmart rolls back its diversity programs, there are more questions about the future of equity in the workplace. Brittany and Karen ponder the repercussions on minority and women-owned businesses in a time of shifting political landscapes and discuss the balancing act corporations face between staying compliant with existing anti-discrimination laws and the looming threat of reverse discrimination claims, opening a dialogue on the fragile state of workplace protections for vulnerable groups.
