How the DEI Cuts Are Affecting You

“We tell women all the time to silence ourselves, to quiet ourselves, to shrink ourselves. And I’m done with that”

What if you stopped accepting the way things are in your workplaces? My conversation with Daisy Auger-Domínguez reminded me that real transformation isn’t about fitting into the system—it’s about challenging it. DEI is about creating environments where everyone, regardless of background, feels respected and has space to thrive. While the current landscape of DEI in the US faces serious pushback, this is just the beginning—the fight for real change is on. Daisy also reminded me that burnout is very real, and we can't pour from an empty cup. Setting boundaries and prioritizing your well-being is essential for sustainable change. The fight for real change is on, and it’s up to all of us to keep pushing forward.

Key Takeaways:

• Challenge the status quo in your workplace

• Create environments where everyone feels respected and has space to thrive

• Push for change, even when it feels uncomfortable

• Prioritize your well-being to prevent burnout

• Set clear boundaries to protect your energy

Hi, I’m JJ.

Since starting the Justice Dept, I have increased women's wealth by over $90MM in less than 5 years.

Want to know what inspires me to do this work?

My clients' surprised reaction when I manage to get them much better terms for themselves and their companies, whether talent agreements, employment, severance, partnerships, asset sales or investments.

They often admit that they never thought they could get that result. Not even hoped.

This blows my mind.
