An article in Forbes magazine that touches on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and focuses on “actively decentering whiteness” in the workplace has drawn conservative backlash, including from U.S. lawmakers and 2024 presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy.
The article, initially titled “3 Ways to Decenter Whiteness in Your Workplace,” but since renamed “3 Ways to Transform Your Workplace to Be More Equitable,” was written by Janice Gassam Asare, who founded the consultancy BWG Business Solutions, a firm that focuses on DEI.
