Now PayPal is being sued by a woman of color for discrimination. The fact that this ended with PayPal being sued by a woman of color was the most predictable outcome because #BigTech in general has fundamentally misunderstood the problems they were seeking to address with #DEI.
it’s been a chief talking point on the political right for a while now. With #Trump returning to office and #tech CEOs writing seven-figure checks for the inauguration taking place today, #DEI is on the chopping block.
In the 2025 season arc, it's no surprise that corporate DEI programs were at the top of the call sheet. It's been a pet peeve for many CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg who blamed Sheryl Sandberg for pressuring Meta to implement DEI programs. How on brand to blame a woman! #DEI#tech

Gutted to learn that @Tinu passed away. She deserved so much better. Our #healthcare system failed her. You can read Tinu's writing here. "To be a Black #disabled#woman in America is to be unwillingly invisible in your greatest time of need." yesmagazine.org/social-justi…

The future of therapy is NOT an AI therapist. The world needs more one on one human interactions not robots counseling people through crisis. Some days I really despise the #VC world as they will do anything to try and make an extra buck and I say that as VC myself.
Here's a list of the top 10 public companies who made #political donations. 9 out of 10 donated more to #GOP candidates.
Do these companies paid family leave, public allyship to support women and BIPOC employees, etc. match their values and support for the GOP?🤔#politics
Have you seen all the cat & dog photos of @VP & @GovTimWalz? And the baby pig photo (OMG). We need a cat and dog zoom call ASAP where all fur baby parents jump on a zoom with their pets to support Harris and Walz. We need to get @SnoopDogg involved.

📣Paris 2024 will be HISTORIC for women.
Thanks to @SenatorCantwell and @SenCapito’s Equal Pay for Team USA Law, women competing on Team USA are guaranteed equal pay, medical care and benefits in their sport for international competitions, including this year’s Olympics.
Kellyanne Conway just said on Fox News that Kamala Harris doesn’t speak well or work hard — rich considering who she worked for, and laughable because we’ve all heard the VP speak. The racist dog whistles have begun.
