Brandi Rand revisits conversations that shine a light on what true progress in diversity, equity, and inclusion looks like—especially when led by Black women. While DEI roles are being cut and corporate initiatives are being scaled back, this episode reminds us that the work didn’t start in 2020, and it certainly doesn’t stop now. These women have been doing the work—whether or not they ever held the title.
From building inclusive spaces within agencies to executing campaigns that center Black mental health, this episode captures the relentless commitment to showing up, building community, and using personal agency as a vehicle for impact. Listeners will hear powerful reflections on collaboration, mentorship, leadership, and why community is more important than ever.
This is a celebration of Black women as culture shapers, truth-tellers, and systems-builders—proof that when the door closes, we build the whole house.
