Summary
This episode is part 2 of our discussion around racism, discrimination, and understanding our role as leaders in the middle of all that's happening. For this discussion I welcome 2 of our community members, and african american female leaders - Felicia Yvette and Robin Sullivan. I'm also joined by a good friend of mine, Dr. Sundiata Soon-jahta… an anti-oppression activist, authentic dialogue facilitator. During the episode we have a very open and honest discussion around the topics of racism, discrimination, the role that systems play in creating these issues, and specific advice for white women and men looking to do a better job of leading teams with people of color. Regardless of what side of this issue you fall on, I think you'll find this discussion incredibly enlightening and impactful. If you are someone that is truly looking for some clarity and action steps you can take to become a part of the solution to all of this, this is a can't miss episode for you.
