Rooted2Thrive Podcast: Conversations That Elevate Our Humanity | Is DEI DOA?: A Pathway Forward

Season 5, Episode 49

Host: Rochelle Peterson-Ansari

Guest: Rodney Patterson

Overview:

In this compelling episode of the Rooted2Thrive Podcast, Rochelle Peterson-Ansari sits down with Rodney S. Patterson — CEO of The Learner Group, pastor, coach, consultant, and author of Trump and the Race Card and Is DEI DOA?: How to Create Ongoing Success in the Marketplace and Beyond. Together, they explore the state of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in today’s social and professional landscape. Their conversation dives deep into the challenges organizations face when DEI efforts lose direction or become performative, and how leaders can realign with purpose, humanity, and authentic engagement. With decades of shared experience in higher education and leadership development, Rochelle and Rodney bring both insight and heart to the question: Is DEI truly dead on arrival, or can it be reimagined for lasting impact?

Topics Discussed:

The evolution and current challenges of DEI in corporate and institutional spaces
How leadership and engagement connect to authentic inclusion
The risks of performative DEI and how to build sustainable practices
The intersection of faith, leadership, and social consciousness
Practical steps organizations can take to move DEI from stagnation to transformation
