Insights from Leadership. Tiffany Hamel Johnson, President & CEO of Chicago United

Divide and Conquer

Representation is powerful. Allies working together drives the dismantling of historic and systemic inequities and causes fear among those attempting to sabotage the work of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Our collective agency drives change. Don’t forget that.

The work we’re fighting for now impacts future generations. Being complicit has implications.

Don’t take your eye off the ball.

Be well,
