Following President Trump's executive order on diversity, equity, and inclusion, there is a notable backlash against DEI initiatives. Professionals from multicultural marketing agencies anticipate reduced budgets, and Black-owned brands are feeling the repercussions. Additionally, diverse media outlets are questioning their advertising commitments. A communications executive reveals that requests for interviews about DEI have rapidly declined, likening it to being under a 'gag order.' This situation highlights a significant shift in discourse surrounding DEI topics, complicating outreach efforts in the industry.
I have never been shut down so fast by so many people. That's never happened to me before, ever. I usually can find somebody to talk about this type of stuff and just gag orders all around.
In the course of a two-day span, I had two incoming media opportunities come in. Usually, I am able to pull from either our client roster or just honestly cool Black women that I know that know their shit.
