Diving into the dark side of Diversity and Inclusion where activities and initiatives have ulterior motives.
The varied corporate, political and romantic paths of our characters intricately intertwine as they navigate the different challenges of Diversity and Inclusion. Jonathan Archer‘s rise from corporate pawn to revolutionary, with the aid of love interest and guiding light, Jenna Kefore, and Calvin James‘ carefully curated electoral run. Dale and Andy provide not only comedic relief but the important perspective of the often exploited White working class.
Finally, we have the undulating path of company boss, Deborah Tate, as she attempts to come to terms with what it means to be a truly inclusive leader. Each path connected and influenced by another, culminating in unexpected new perspectives of our rapidly changing world.
