Episode notes
Anti-Racism Work is Relational
- Real change in anti-racism work must be relational, not transactional.
- Transformational impact comes from relationships, not just checking boxes or actions.
Harm of Poorly Facilitated Forums
- Many organizations hastily held forums on racial justice without skilled facilitation.
- This increased feelings of exclusion and trauma among Black employees instead of fostering inclusion.
Don’t Demand Business Case
- Stop demanding a business case for DEI work; just commit to equity.
- Asking for justification devalues the humanity and equal treatment of marginalized groups.
