When I was asked to write an article about diversity, long before I began the necessary thinking, organizing and researching to compile thoughts and words and complete the article, I knew the title would be, “Are You Done Yet?”
I wanted that title because it was the direct and not-so-direct refrain that I was hearing from many corners of society as things got financially tough, budgets got tight, resources got cut and the threat for survival at the individual and institutional level became more widespread. It manifested itself differently depending on the group or institution, but it manifested itself as if this question Are you done yet? was always there, just below the surface.
