Advancing Diversity and Inclusion in STEAM

Over the past several years, organizations both large and small have taken significant steps to prioritize diversity and inclusion, understanding that these efforts not only drive sales and business growth but attract top talent. That momentum, however, is beginning to slow, thanks to DEI blowback from conservative lawmakers and activists, as well as miscommunication, misinformation, and fear. In fact, a number of brands and agencies have announced that they are scaling back or cutting their DEI programs and, in some cases, eliminating the chief diversity officer position. This news does not sit well with Jordan Weiss, who has been a leading voice for advancing diversity and inclusion. As cofounder and president of Diversity in Action, a digital and print magazine, he is committed to supporting and promoting diversity in science, technology, engineering, the arts and math (STEAM). His inspiring publication examines topics and profiles people who bring a diverse array of views and who nurture innovation regardless of how they identify themselves. In this episode of Beyond Profit, a podcast of the ANA Center for Brand Purpose , Jordan joins host Ken Beaulieu to discuss the essence of his magazine and how it has shaped his personal view of diversity, his assessment of the building backlash over DEI, and how he will continue to champion diversity at every turn.
