I&#39;ve seen this countless times. Senior leaders ask a grassroots DEI council what they need to feel comfortable working for the good of the organization, and the requests they receive come as a surprise. Resources specifically for Black and brown folks. Protections specifically for LGBTQ+ employees, disabled people, and neurodivergent people. Specialized support for healing from racial trauma directed at junior women of color. &quot;How about an all-company workshop, or crowdsourcing a resource we can *all* benefit from?&quot; is the common counter-suggestion from senior leaders, and the swift response to that is a resounding &quot;NO.&quot;
