About MilSect
Our Why
MilSect, LLC is a military spouse, black, queer, and mom owned business. Deja Joi is a leading expert on military inclusivity, DEI strategic planning that incorporates the military experience, public speaking, and understanding of how to bring a company beyond friendly.
Military spouses and family members are faced with certain career and educational setbacks due to the military. While this is known, companies tend to see 'military friendly' as hiring the transitioning veteran and not truly understanding the family dynamic or the veteran spouse. And if they do look at the military family, do they understand the intersectionality and diversity of the military family?
Spouses typically promoted in the media are not usually, BIPOC, veteran spouses, male military spouses, dual military spouses, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, etc. Which begs the question, how inclusive is military friendly? Especially considering, the military and its community is the most diverse community in America.
Many know what is to be military friendly, but what does it mean to be military inclusive?
