175. Target Hate, LGBTQ, & “Perversion”

The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo

Sharing my thoughts on Target being targeted. As I say in this video, I applaud the work of Laysha Ward and her team with Target’s continued commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s year round for every community. It’s not seasonal and I say this as someone who shops at Target weekly, including 2 Targets yesterday lol. We must work with companies that want to create communities where everyone can be celebrated and not tolerated. Even as we may critique each other, we must remember we are on the same side. Lastly in this video, I speak to Candace Owens’ ignorant comments and how wrong it is for society to keep associating #lgbtq people with perversion and deviance. Words matter and that hate must be fought too! Let’s GO! #heytarget #supporttarget #dei #deiba #deib #liesaboutblackpeople #upstander
