Jennifer Sey, a former Levi's executive, was removed from a 'diverse thought' panel at a conference despite the event's theme of breaking down barriers. With a history of pushing back against lockdowns and criticizing woke capitalism, she reflects on her experiences of being marginalized in corporate circles for her views. Sey highlights that despite companies' public claims of embracing diverse perspectives, her treatment illustrates the prevalence of cancel culture and the stifling of dissenting opinions. Sey's own venture, XX-XY Athletics, champions women's sports and diverges from mainstream narratives.
I was pleasantly surprised: I'm pretty well known at this point as being aggressively non-woke.
I resigned from Levi's, a company I'd worked in for 23 years. And then I was banished from all of corporate America for my disobedience.
I went public, decrying woke capitalism for its harmful stifling of creativity and innovation as it smothers speech.
The invitation to air my heterodox views at such a mainstream conference was shocking - but a hopeful sign of change.
