In this episode, we challenge the comforting narrative of steady progress in workplace equity and explore the reality behind rising discrimination complaints despite the surge in DEI initiatives. Drawing on Margo KylerKnight’s research and real-world examples, we highlight how true change is driven by self-determination, community action, and collective empowerment—not just institutional promises. Discover how individuals and organizations are reclaiming power, building support networks, and creating new opportunities in the face of systemic barriers. Tune in for a candid conversation on moving beyond the illusion of progress to achieve genuine justice and lasting impact.
