Summary

Through their work with organisations and companies across the world, Maggie Semple and Jane Oremosu found that there was a need to help people as they discussed difference, race and inclusion. My Little Black Book: A Blacktionary aims to do just that.

This A-Z pocket guide is for people who are entering the workplace and finding their identity, for leaders and managers who feel overwhelmed by ever-evolving definitions and phrases, for anyone who is afraid of saying the wrong thing and being judged. From explaining what microagressions are and their impact, to helping you understand what cultural appreciation is and how it's different to cultural appropriation, their incredible book will break down barriers to engaging in conversations on race.

Drawing together the best definitions as well as useful advice and tips, My Little Black Book: A Blacktionary is an essential tool to broaden your knowledge and live and work better with others.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Power Hour. I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.
0:11.1	Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches,
0:18.0	change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by
0:23.0	and what motivates them to get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage,
0:29.7	motivate and inspire, so I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal
0:34.5	and professional goals.
0:41.0	Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast.
0:46.2	This week, I am joined by Jane Orimoso and Dr. Maggie Semple OBE.
0:49.9	I have been looking forward to recording this episode all week.
0:53.3	I think it's going to be an engaging and interesting conversation that I think is a very important conversation to have right now.
0:57.0	I feel like, as I'm sure we all do, there is a lot of difficult conversations that need to be had.
1:03.0	There's a lot of tension at the moment. The world feels more divided than ever.
1:07.0	And as much as we need people to talk we also need people to listen and I
1:13.1	think now is a really good time to listen and I think that we need people like Jane and
1:18.4	Maggie who do the work to help to provide solutions to provide advice access

1:35.1	the show, Jane and Maggie. Thank you. Thank you. Delighted to be here. So, as I said, the world
1:43.4	feels more divided than ever. I think, you know, whether we're thinking about politics, whether we're thinking about race, whether we're thinking about, I know a lot of people personally and professionally who have in their interpersonal relationships, with people in their families, with people online, are having lots of difficult conversations. And it can be debilitating, people can fall out, it can be so divisive that they never speak ever again.
2:05.6	And as I said, I think we need tools, we need to have conversations, we need to communicate with people more.
2:12.6	So before we dive into all of my questions about the book, I thought I'd start with the listeners
2:18.2	getting to know a little bit more about both of you and your journeys. So Jane, I'm going
