Straight No Chaser Advice Office Hours
summary
Argues that failed DEI and inclusion work stems from inability to have uncomfortable conversations and lists five failure modes with concrete fixes: missing iterative collaborative processes that let a script become a final video, lack of diversity among creators, absence of psychological safety to raise concerns, no respectful feedback process, and leadership ignoring silence. Offers tools: role‑play, an advice column ($7/month), a community called White dud rehab, and a book Profit Without Oppression as practical resources.
