This will be my last message on this platform.
I’ve recently learned that Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has decided to eliminate its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team, end equity and inclusion programs, and change hiring and supplier diversity practices. As someone who deeply values DEI and what it stands for—opportunity, fairness, and humanity—I cannot in good conscience continue to support or use platforms associated with a company that no longer upholds these principles.
This decision, alongside the heartbreaking reality of mass deportations affecting innocent people, reflects a troubling shift in priorities that I find appalling. If we don’t stand for something, we risk falling for anything, and I choose to stand for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
To my friends, colleagues, and community here: thank you for the connections and conversations. I encourage all of us to reflect on where we invest our time, energy, and dollars. Supporting companies that prioritize humanity and fairness is more important now than ever.
I’m leaving this platform not in defeat, but in solidarity with the values I hold dear. I hope to reconnect with many of you on platforms and spaces that share these values.
