Let’s rebrand DEI as H.U.E.- Human Unity Expansion

Companies can lead the way in challenging societal divisions and fostering community. A business embracing this philosophy can position itself as a brand that values individuals beyond labels. 

 For example, simply put, we are not a box of crayons! We are humanity. We don’t fit into tiny boxes, nor are we wax sticks with paper labels.

The crayon is white, but so are some cats and polar bears. Some people have more melanin in their skin, but they are not the color black in a crayon box. We are not black. We are not white. We are individuals, families, friends, and cultures—not crayons.

 Words that try to define us by color are inaccurate. We are human. We stand for humanity.

 Here’s how this perspective can transform workplaces and brands:

 Human-Centered Branding: Aligns with businesses promoting diversity, unity, and genuine human connection.

Inclusive Leadership: Encourages organizations to see employees as unique individuals, not categories.

Innovation & Collaboration: Removing labels fosters clearer thinking, creativity, and stronger teamwork.

Community Building: This message can inspire a movement where customers and employees feel part of something bigger.

 By embracing integrity and honesty, we recognize that we are more than labels.

 We are not crayons—we are human, and together, we expand the meaning of Human Unity Expansion.
