This week I have Trudi Lebron on the podcast! My partner on my other podcast, That’s Not How That Works! Trudi and I talk about how we can become equity-centered, meaning how can we evolve as folks who want to decolonize and uproot systems of oppression within ourselves, so that it can reflect in our businesses. Bc listen here, 2020 was a hot mess express and businesses were coming to Trudi and I with the most urgency asking to review, change, and create anti-racist DEI policies...without wanting to do the actual work! Not surprised of course, but we could see through the thin veil of pretending to give a shit about melanated folks' lives bc it was profitable. And believe it or not, some companies didn’t want to change a thing bc they were afraid of losing customers!

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT
Why interest and support of humanitarian change dipped after the great whyte awakening in 2020. Y’all sure went silent! Businesses urgently wanting anti-racist & DEI policies changed in thier company culture...without actually doing the work. Le sigh. What gets mixed up when companies think about diversity, equity, and inclusion! How we’ve been culturally taught to normalize whyteness and how it equates to success. The tons of companies that have diversity, but not representation. How we can begin to decolonize ourselves, so that can reflect in our businesses as well.
