Chief DEI Officer Kyra Lynn Johnson leads efforts to replace gendered phrases and promote antiracism within the company.

Delta has removed 'ladies and gentlemen' from gate announcements to be more gender-inclusive.
An inclusive language guide advises employees to avoid terms reinforcing a gender binary.
The airline is committed to being an 'antiracist company' and actively seeks diversity.
Delta is reimagining its talent strategy with a focus on representation and equity.
Some employees have expressed discomfort with the changes, but the company is working to normalize these conversations.
