(3/3) DEI is under attack and the belief in meritocracy is only climbing. It is important that we protest anti-DEI initiatives, and educate people we know about the dangers of meritocracy.

(2/3) Hiring based on merit sounds like the perfect system, but some critical flaws make meritocracy the enemy of equity, as explained in the slides below.

(1/3) What is DEI and why is meritocracy so bad?

In the presentation below, I go into what DEI is, what it means for people, and how merit-based systems simply do not work because of structural inequalities in America.

(3/3) The effects of what the US government did to the Lakota people still linger today.

100s of treaties were broken by the US government at the expense of native peoples, destroying ecosystems and cultures in the process.

To this day, native peoples continue to fight for their land and culture.

(2/3) Shown in the gif below, the history of Lakota native land is presented. ​

Starting with the treaty of Fort Laramie (1851) and decreasing when settlers found gold on native land. Breaking the treaty, the US Government did nothing, and settlers took over, never truly leaving.​

(1/3) Let's talk about settler colonialism and how it shaped what the United States is today.

To illustrate this, I would like to turn your attention to the Lakota people, who were mistreated at the hands of the US government and still have not had some of their most sacred lands returned to them.
