DIVERSITY – ISSUE II

Fashioned for the Socially Free

What Makes America Great AAAgain?

Originally published in August 2019, this piece questioned the myth behind the slogan long before DEI was stripped from the national conversation.

I never imagined I’d witness a 2.0 — a version of America where Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion aren’t just debated but outright dismissed. The promises made in boardrooms, classrooms, and campaign speeches are being undone — quietly and unapologetically.

So I asked again: What truly makes America great? And why does a more inclusive future threaten those who cling to the past?

This piece isn’t here to soothe. It’s here to challenge. Because if we’re going to recycle slogans, then we must also recycle the truth they so often ignore.
