DETROIT - Michimich -- In celebration of Black Business Month, Speakers Magazine unveils its boldest edition yet—a powerful pivot playbook for Black entrepreneurs navigating today's shifting, post-DEI economy. The August 2025 issue centers on one critical message: We don't shrink. We shift.
At the heart of this special issue is Omar L. Harris—bestselling author, executive coach, and LinkedIn Top Voice. Harris is the author of Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss and his newest release, Hire the Right W.H.O.M., where he introduces a hiring strategy grounded in Work Ethic, Heart, Optimism, and Maturity. In a time when DEI efforts are being deprioritized, Harris is pushing leaders to pivot with purpose and build teams that win with heart—not just hustle.
"Budgets are shrinking. DEI doors are closing. Media narratives are shifting," says Speakers Magazine publisher Dr. Pam Perry. "But that doesn't mean we stop. That means we get smarter, bolder, and more intentional. This issue is for the builders, the visionaries, the change agents."
Inside the August 2025 Issue:
Omar L. Harris: Leading in the Pivot

This timely editorial by Omar L. Harris unpacks how DEI became a political lightning rod—and how Black professionals can proactively reframe the narrative with metrics, media visibility, and movement-building.
