    Fairweather Friends: How Corporate America Walked Back DEI
    Feb 4 2026
    DEI experts Samantha Fletcher and Joy Stephens unpack how corporate allyship flourished in public, then faded when accountability and politics entered the picture.Show NotesSamantha Fletcher has been doing DEI work since before the acronym DEI came to be popularized. Starting off her career as a journalist, she worked in newspapers, magazines and radio, becoming known for speaking out and highlighting injustices that needed addressing. She made the career switch to education, and her passion for impacting fairness and justice went along with her. Making her way from grade school teacher to graduate school teacher and course designer to school administrator and host of Daily Border Crossings — the podcast she launched about othering — Samantha has used each platform to be a staunch advocate for equity and inclusion of marginalized groups. She is currently a Director of DEI in the DC area, where she lives with her treasures: her husband, sons, old school hip hop and lemon pepper wings.https://www.samanthafletcher.com Dally Border Crossings on Apple Podcasts and SpotifyDaily Border Crossings on Instagram and TikTokBlack_Harvard_Mama on TikTokjust_samanthaf on InstagramJoy Stephens is a corporate culture consultant for many different industries and companies and has served as a DEI subject matter expert for the last 7+years.https://www.linkedin.com/in/joy-stephens-newheights/ From Allyship to Abandon-Ship: How Do We Stop the Cycle?ReferencesAfter AT&T Pens Letter to Trump Ending DEI, Black Internet Is More Than FuriousAT&T commits to ending DEI programsVerizon ends DEI policies to get FCC's blessing for its $20 billion Frontier deal GM, Pepsi, Disney, others scrub some DEI references from investor reportsT-Mobile ending DEI programs as it seeks US FCC approval for 2 dealsGoogle’s DEI Shift: Compliance Necessity or Strategic Reevaluation?

  • DEI: Put Your Back Into It

    DEI: Put Your Back Into It
    May 8 2024
    We're diving into a topic that's been making waves across all spectrums of society – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI if you're nasty. We're peeling back the layers of this crucial conversation, from what DEI really means to why it's been catching flak from some naysayers.Today's GuestSamantha Fletcher has been an independent school teacher or leader since 2009 and is currently the Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at The Siena School, a school for students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences. Also currently a Research Associate and Instructional Designer at the Harvard Kennedy School, her work focuses on justice advocacy, policy and ways in which technology can be leveraged as a tool to enhance inclusive, fair practices. Samantha is known for her unique approach, an enigmatic way of getting participants comfortably engaged in seemingly challenging or controversial conversations. A contemporary thinker while also rooted in history, she creatively and cleverly uses subjects like hip hop, current events and lesser considered viewpoints to as a basis for lessons that help shift perspectives. Committed to the intersections of tech/STEM and inclusive representation, she recently earned a master’s in Technology, Innovation and Education and is the founder of TIE DIE, a one-of-a-kind identity-centered, interactive, critical thinking program focused on education, exposure and advocacy that prepares teens to thrive in tech spaces after high school.
