The Conversation Is The Relationship

Education EN ↓ 54 episodes

Time to get comfortable with the uncomfortable! I will be sharing my lived experiences of not growing up around other Black people, increasing my own awareness around systemic racism, and interviewing members of different minority groups from all facets of life to hear their stories and learn through the lens of their experiences.

And how are we unknowingly contributing to systemic racism and discrimination? In order to tap into the power we have to change the world.
