EXCERPT Latesha: A lot of people have asked me about interviews. "Is it okay if I ask the company about their D&I initiatives and how they're combating racism in the interview?" You can ask them all day, but you know what they're gonna say? "Oh, yeah. We celebrate diversity, and we are inclusive. We just had a Black history program, and it was great. You can see our website. We just volunteered and gave back to the Black homeless kids." Come on, y'all. Do y'all think they're gonna tell you everything that you need to know in the interview? No. This is why you have to talk to other people. You gotta know people at other organizations. You have to know Black people at other organizations that will really tell you the real deal.
