DEI isn’t just a moral stance... it’s a business imperative.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. V Boykin breaks down the real cost of being Black in business and how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) directly impact revenue, market opportunities, and leadership dynamics. From overcoming systemic barriers to navigating corporate spaces, Dr. V shares hard truths about the modern workplace, allyship, and the underestimated power of Black buying power.

  • Recognizing privilege and injustice and accepting accountability while embracing change
  • How to maintain individuality, light, and confidence while navigating injustice in the workplace 
  • The business case for DEI and why ignoring it is a costly mistake
  • How allyship goes beyond good intentions to real action 
  • And much more
