"We're in a new time where DEI is no longer. Diversity, equity, inclusivity, it's a problem, it's a trigger word in some circumstances. So what that means to me is we need to work harder as women and as allies to pull people forward."

Laurie McGraw doesn't sugarcoat the new reality: systemic change isn't coming to save us. The laws have been repealed. The programs are disappearing.

"It's not gonna be systemic change that's going to allow us to accelerate on the gender parity issues that we face," she states plainly.

Her solution? Stop waiting for permission. Start pulling harder. If the system won't create equity, women must create it themselves—one promotion, one mentorship, one bold move at a time.

In the full episode of Inspiring Women, Laurie lays out exactly how women can accelerate progress when the institutional support disappears.
