Abstract	Hegemonic institutions continue to promote the importance of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging initiatives (DIB). However, the persons in power creating these initiatives are often White men and women (Bischel and McChesney, 2017), that do not understand the complexity of the lived experience of Black, Brown, and African American people within that community. The study sought to investigate how Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging initiatives may be negatively impacting Black, Brown, and African American people, considered underrepresented minorities (URM's) within these hegemonic institutions. These negative impacts may be contributing to hostile work environments. Participants and data collected in Cycle 1 were composed of those that identified as employees at the research site that self-identified as Black, Brown, or African American. Action steps were designed, implemented, and evaluated in Cycle 2 to provide insights to leadership and stakeholders about the lived experience of URM's within a hegemonic institution. Moreover, how current DIB initiatives aimed at creating an inclusive environment have perpetuated an ongoing cycle on discrimination. The self-directed Equity Awareness Module (EAM), developed from Cycle 1 data, was created for researchers and staff as a transformative training centered on andragogy. The EAM featured training components that focused on identifying veiled discriminatory practices that underrepresented minoritized populations face within hegemonic institutions that have robust DIB initiatives. This Action Research Study has gone through an assiduous evaluative process that included multiple surveys and feedback sessions of employees of the host site. The study concluded that although Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging initiatives are gaining precedence in administrative policies and practices, the approach taken oftentimes excludes underrepresented minoritized populations from contributing crucial input resulting in ineffective DIB programming and impeding institutional change. The cycle of discrimination can therefore continue without consequence as this hegemonic institution can lay claim to multiple successful DIB initiatives and programming, all the while preserving a hostile work environment that DIB initiatives are meant to mitigate. Implications for the institution included increased cultural awareness of the organizational climate which positively impacted the underrepresented minorities within this community.
