The State Department responded to controversy surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion chief Zakiya Carr Johnson's comments on feminism, race and America.
The State Department responded to the controversy surrounding its new diversity, equity and inclusion chief Zakiya Carr Johnson, explaining that it has 'high confidence' in her ability to lead in a 'complex world.' Carr Johnson has previously called America a 'failed historic model' and demanded the destruction of tradition 'at every juncture' on the altar of antiracism.
' ' are chinks in the armor of traditional leadership that refuse to reconcile with a colonizing past, or recognize that time has run out for experimentation and tweaking of a failed historic model… We understand that a cultural shift is on the horizon and in order to save us all, we must be prepared to change,' Carr Johnson wrote in a 2019 article for the group Fair Share of Women Leaders, which has since been deleted.
