A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video by Worldwide Ty ("Why We Gatekeep Info: Business Lessons from Black Culture") where two speakers discuss how, in business contexts—particularly involving Black and multicultural people—information is often gatekept. They suggest that withholding information and misinformation have become embedded in business practices and even described as being "part of our DNA."

Of our DNA.
