You know how passionate we are around here about representation and inclusivity!

Let’s talk about what it really means to be an inclusive anti-racist leader this week on Leading Women in Tech! 

In today’s episode, I invite my racial equity coach & consultant, Annie Gichuru, to have an incredibly important conversation around representation through the racial justice lens and what we as leaders need to change to meet the needs of our community and organizations. 

Ready to take a look at your anti-racism and bring more inclusivity to your leadership?

We dive into:

• Annie’s journey to becoming a racial equity coach
• The level of safety needed to do this work & how white fragility can play a role

• Where we’re going wrong as a culture with organizations & the DEI component (and what to do about it)
