THE PROBLEM: Your DEI program is facing backlash from those who say they are “diversity weary”, claiming DEI gives unfair advantage. You want to change the narrative. 

FOUR THINGS YOU CAN DO 

1. CONSIDER diversity weariness a luxury those experiencing exclusion don’t have.  

2. CONTEMPLATE the diversity tent: everyone is in it…but no one should get trampled. 

3. CORRECT the fallacy: Equity is about doing right—not inflicting punishment. 

4. CREATE a new narrative: everyone belongs here and we all benefit when they do.
