(RECORDED MAY 2021)
This episode explores the fact that over the past year plus, over $12 billion dollars have been pledged in the name of Social Justice, $8 Billion of which came from companies. While we embrace and love the fact that so much money has been 'pledged', it begs us to question, what has happened "Beyond the Pledge"?

Monies pledge as of March 2021 - https://apnews.com/article/whole-foods-market-inc-race-and-ethnicity-beyonce-knowles-corporate-giving-coronavirus-pandemic-65357480c89de284c6f0feb2f4b62587

Where has that money been allocated? Over what period of time? Which organizations? What has been the impact?

Join us as we dig into this matter.

This weeks heart topic discusses the sinking ship that can be 'the business case for diversity' if organizations ONLY throw $$ at the problem.
