Recently, companies have been renaming, refocusing, or outright discontinuing their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs because they’re being criticized or taking fire for having them. You can make an objective argument that things are better than they used to be, and by and large, they are. But improvements made aren’t always improvements kept. There are also many who argue that more change and improvement is needed.

One of the best ways to figure out where change is needed and how those changes should be implemented is to talk about the issues, calmly, openly, and with an aim toward solving the problem, not apportioning blame. Apparelist has partnered with Kristine Shreve on a new podcast, Threads of Change, and it’s designed to do just that.

The hope is that we’ll tell the story of a diverse and exciting printing industry that is growing and changing and making room for all — while, also, of course, being entertaining.
