??Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has made a surprising change to its “Possibilities Summit” for Black college students: It’s opened the program to White students. ??At Bank of America Corp., certain internal programs that used to focus on women and minorities have been broadened to include everyone. ??Wall Street has long skewed White and male, as it still does. Even an inkling that banks are retreating from DEI has some women and minorities questioning how real promises of change were in the first place. ??Recruitment programs aimed at women and minorities — a key tool for recruiting diverse talent — are being reworked. In-house affinity groups, specific workforce targets and even boardroom diversity initiatives are all up for review, executives, consultants and lawyers say. ??JPMorgan’s summer fellowships for Black undergraduate sophomores is now open to all sophomore students “regardless of background.” ??At Goldman Sachs, lawyers have advised senior executives to remove references to race and gender in college recruitment programs, according to people familiar with the matter. They’ve also warned against hosting exclusive events for specific groups, such as women and people of color.

An important article to read as we consider the trends of DEI practices in the U.S. Valuable insights (as usual!) from Ana Duarte McCarthy as well.
Since the Supreme Court's decision to ban race as a factor in college admissions last year, American companies have been trying to figure out how the ruling might affect their own efforts to recruit from underrepresented groups. On Wall Street, banks have been quietly reassessing their promises to level the playing field, as executives try to head off accusations of reverse discrimination amid a growing conservative assault on DEI and pockets of resentment among White employees. Goldman Sachs for example, has opened its “Possibilities Summit” for Black college students to White students. At Bank of America, certain internal programs that used to focus?on women and minorities have been broadened to include?everyone. And at BNY Mellon, executives are being urged to reconsider hard metrics for workforce diversity. They may seem like small changes -- lawyerly tweaks, executives say -- but they are starting to add up to something big: the end of?a watershed era?for diversity in the US workplace, and the start of a new, uncertain one. One influential Wall Street banker said he’s observed that the sway executives in charge of diversity recruitment used to have with decision makers has diminished.?He said that colleagues who'd been willing in recent years to be open to diverse recruitment are reverting back to the way they were before Floyd’s murder. Don't miss this important story from Max Abelson, Simone Foxman, Ava Benny-Morrison, Sridhar Natarajan and Jeff Green that looks into what's changing and what that actually means. With special thanks to Subha Barry, Valerie Irick Rainford and Ana Duarte McCarthy for sharing their insights. https://lnkd.in/gcQqSrGM

Looking at the "fruit" of #DEI objectively will give you heartburn. In the best of times it's more about saying the right thing than doing anything measured objectively advancing the rights of the marginalized. Before we attach ourselves to an arbitrary systems "branding," I hope we may consider self advocacy far more effective than allyship #futureofwork #selfadvocacy #supportedemployment

When I say we are living in a “desegregated white supremacy” (Dylan Rodríguez, 2011), this is, by no means, an exaggeration. You only have to read the following lines, and it doesn’t even require us to have to read between the lines. It’s all there—written in plain words. ?? “She’s had White women ask her what opportunities their sons will have if Wall Street focuses solely on promoting underrepresented groups.” ?? The attacks against “DEI” in the workplace—or “purpose” in marketing—is an attempt to take back racial power. At the grassroots, people fight for radical change. Corporate America has co-opted grassroots abolitionist movements for no other reason that to weaponize making concessions as a way of maintaining racial power. What does that look like? It looks exactly like “desegregated white supremacy” as I’ve mentioned - continued dominance of the ruling class with some semblance of concessions re-enacted through public celebrations of “diversity” but the admission of only a select few. Nothing new about this. Anyone who has seriously studied the histories of revolt (in this country and elsewhere) understands that this is precisely how hegemony works. The challenge is that most people aren’t given an opportunity to develop critical historical hindsight to understand that the struggle against racial capitalism stretches back to the abolitionist struggle of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries—that we struggle against is what Saidiya Hartman calls “the afterlife of slavery.” That’s precisely why we mistake what is, for all intents and purposes, simply self-interested advocacy for white bourgeois interests as some kind of transformative politic. And so, of course, inevitably, when it’s hard to deny it, we will come to be disillusioned and disappointed when the system reveals itself to do what the system does: co-opt, appropriate, suppress, and neutralize. https://lnkd.in/e8UcWHSt #culturalinsights #consciousmarketing #blackstudies

Founder OnestopSave.com | Financial Adviser | TV Personality | Public Speaker | Author | Event Host
I had the privilege of addressing over 150 ambitious Black students and recent graduates at Barclays' "Young, Black and in Finance" event. The energy in the room was electric, filled with potential ready to be unleashed on the finance world. As I shared my journey from a council estate to a thriving career in finance, I saw eyes light up with recognition and hope. My message was clear: your background isn't a barrier—it's your unique edge in this industry. To the future finance leaders I met: 1. Your perspective is invaluable. The challenges you've faced have equipped you with resilience and insight that this industry needs. 2. Embrace discomfort. You might often be the only one from your community in the room. Use that position to drive change. 3. Your 'superpower' lies in your differences. My immigrant background and early struggles shaped my approach to finance in ways that became my greatest strengths. 4. Focus on what you have: work ethic, likability, curiosity, and drive. These qualities will set you apart more than any privilege ever could. 5. Don't wait for opportunities—create them through relentless effort and dedication. To Barclays and Nana Agyemang : Thank you for creating this crucial platform. Your commitment to diversity is shaping the future of finance. To every young person wondering if they belong in finance: You don't just belong—you're essential. The industry is waiting for the unique value only you can bring. Let's continue to break barriers and redefine what leadership looks like in finance. #DiversityInFinance #FutureOfFinance #CareerInspiration #BarclaysEvent
