Tabitha Brown Speaks Following News Of Target DEI Rollbacks [VIDEO]

Last week President Donald Trump signed an order to  end what he described as “the scourge of DEI from our federal government and returning America to a merit based society where people are hired based on their skills, not for the color of their skin,”

Some companies that we shop at almost immediately responded by saying that were going to end their DEI policies. Target on Friday said it’s rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion programs. In a memo sent to its employees, the Minneapolis-based retailer said it will end its three-year DEI goals, stop reports to external diversity-focused groups like the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index and end a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses.

One of those who is to affected by this decision is actress, entrepreneur, and lifestyle influence, Tabitha Brown who has spoken via video from her social media.  Tabitha Brown discussed how the decision affects not only her own brand but also countless Black-owned and minority-owned businesses fighting to stay on retail shelves.

“It has been very hard for Black-owned businesses to hit shelves, which is why it’s such a big deal when we do,”…“If we all decide to boycott… our sales will drop. Our business will be hurt,”…“Until we can get to another place, we unfortunately have to play the game,”
