If you want to create an equitable organization...
You might think you need to:
-
Do what other companies are doing.
-
Host quarterly D.E.I. training for staff.
-
Create a diversity and equity statement for your employee handbook.
-
Hire a Diversity and Inclusion Director.
-
Integrate vocabulary such as "anti-racism", "inclusion", and "belonging" into your internal communications.
But here's what no one talks about when it comes to D.E.I...
-
Your D.E.I. programs may be creating unintentional harm by not putting people at the center.
-
Most organizations aren't exactly sure what's changed or improved as a result of their D.E.I. work.
-
The commitment and investment in D.E.I. is often too short, making it ineffective.
-
D.E.I. has become disconnected from the real-life injustices that people have to navigate everyday.
-
Employees are increasingly disengaging from, and rejecting, organizational D.E.I. efforts.
-
There's probably misalignment between universal D.E.I. core values and the way your organization operates.
7 Reasons Your D.E.I. is Failing
-
Your efforts are not rooted in a clear purpose and vision
-
Your company core values don't guide your D.E.I.
-
You didn't develop D.E.I. goals.
-
You failed to make the proper investments.
-
The real-world state of racial justice and equity has not been informing your D.E.I. practice.
-
You aren't centering the experiences of those most impacted by bias and 'isms.
-
Leaders are afraid to take bold action and disrupt the status quo.
For True Success, You Need The 6 P's
Without these 6 ingredients, D.E.I. transformations are either short-lived or are never fully realized:

Purpose
Principles
Psychological Safety
Power & Privilege Mapping & Analysis
The Plan
Once you learn how to incorporate these 6 factors into your strategy, you’ll be able to build and sustain a workplace where people feel a sense of safety and belonging.
Hi, I'm Chrysta.
I grew up in North Carolina and Georgia where I was exposed to overt racism nearly everyday.
My family lived through the dehumanization that was the Jim Crow South, a time of legalized racial segregation and discrimination.
The impact of my lived experiences and intergenerational trauma are what sparked my calling to co-create a society where everyone can thrive—regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, disability, or other aspect of their identity.
I use The Six P's to guide my racial justice and equity work with government agencies, foundations, ethical corporations and nonprofits.
It's a tried and true way to implement D.E.I. transformations that stick. And now I'm sharing them with you.

This Work Is Too Important To Wait.
It was exactly 2 years ago in 2020 when the murder of George Floyd led many organizations to launch their D.E.I. initiatives out of a sense of urgency.
Nearly 730 days later, many organizations have deactivated, defunded, or de-prioritized D.E.I.
Despite this, the need for D.E.I. at work has only increased. MIT Sloan reports that what's fueling The Great Resignation is the lack of inclusion and dignity at work.
The state of diversity, equity, and inclusion are critical indicators of organizational success.
That means D.E.I. has to be done radically different than it's been done in the past.
If you don't, you'll lose great employees and money, continue to create harm, and be out of alignment with your D.E.I. values.
"There is a way that Chrysta 'tells the truth' about how and why organizations like ours struggle with diversity, equity and inclusion that doesn't shame us: it showed us that the issues are universal and systemic. And her framework showed us an inspiring, FUN, way toward our DEI goals."
