Corporate leaders demonstrated their allegiance to the Democrat Party’s woke agenda at a social justice-themed conference that focused on ending “microaggressions” and transgender “allyship.”
The conference, called “Women of Color and their Allies,” featured conversations with numerous corporate leaders on several social justice-themed topics.

One session was called “Exploring and Ending Microaggressions in the Workplace.” The talk defined microaggressions as “subtle … acts such as comments or gestures that tend to be rooted in implicit or explicit racism, sexism or homophobia.”
It featured several corporate leaders such as the “Managing Vice President at Capital One Financial,” the “Senior Vice President and Head of U.S. Credit Card and Unsecured Lending at TD Bank,” the “North America Inclusion and Diversity Leader at Accenture,” and “Vice President and Chief Deputy General Counsel at Medtronic.”
Spectators were encouraged to “learn about the concept of intent versus impact and how it relates to equality, equity and liberation.”
A different session was titled “White Women as Allies to WOC,” and featured Karen Fichuk, the CEO of a staffing agency called Randstad North America. Fichuk bemoaned her white privilege in the talk, remarking, “During the social justice movement, the Karen meme of a privileged white woman was very prevalent. That hit home in a big way, given that Karen was my name.”
“But I’ve learned a lot about my privilege over the last year because of that,” Fichuk added.
Another session was called “Increasing Support & Allyship for Transgender & Nonbinary Communities” and featured a discussion with Gabrielle Claiborne, the Co-Founder and CEO of Transformation Journeys Worldwide, and Tori Cooper, Director of Community Engagement for the Transgender Justice Initiative for Human Rights Campaign.
Claiborne, a man who identifies as a woman, called on people to start “unpacking our cultural assumptions around gender.” He went on to claim that “gender is a whole lot more complex than the binary culture that many of us grew up in, believing that there were only two options for gender.
