In this episode of A Black Executive Perspective podcast hosts Tony Tidbit and Chris P. Reed delve into the controversial topic of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hires. Special guest Josh Moon, an investigative reporter and columnist for the Alabama Political Reporter, discusses his provocative article, 'We All Know What DEI Hire Really Means,' which suggests that 'DEI hire' has become a racially charged term. Moon shares his perspectives on the misuse of the term DEI, racism in corporate and political environments, and his experiences as a journalist in Alabama. The conversation also touches on broader issues of race, political divisions, and the challenge of promoting inclusivity in the workplace.
