I think this Washington's Dream skit, and the first from Bargatze's initial stint hosting SNL, is hysterical. https://lnkd.in/eTP6zZHc But it is also really trenchant given the current climate around DEI and the choices that we are seeing some organizations and leaders make about how they choose to engage with or articulate their vision for diversity, equity, and inclusion. If you are a leader talking about your organization's vision and theory for change and you are not talking about equity, if you gloss over the questions from your BIPOC staff, or put it on the back burner, you look as silly as Nate Bargatze/General Washington here. We can't talk about what we want to achieve, our aspirations, without attending to the very real experiences of all of our people, and how our work strives to create and truly contribute to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive world. Watch the skit. Laugh, it's comedy gold and the timing is perfect. And then consider how we need to show up as leaders for our message and work to be authentic, empowering, and meaningful.
