01: Is DEI Dead? Why the Work Matters Now More Than Ever
In this debut episode of DEI Will Not Die, Dr Bree Gorman lays the foundation for the podcast with a clear message: while the language and tactics of DEI may change, the need for inclusive, equitable workplaces never goes away. Bree shares the personal and professional journey that led them into diversity, equity and inclusion work—covering everything from higher education to consultancy, ADHD and gender identity. They also reflect on the backlash DEI is facing globally, and why now is the time to double down on real, impactful change. Whether you’re leading DEI strategy, part of an Employee Resource Group, managing people and culture, or just passionate about removing barriers in the workplace—this episode offers grounding and solidarity for those doing the work.
