Our Plan for Active Anti-Racism
Here at Bossed Up, we want to be thoughtful, strategic, and sustainable in response to the recent outcry against police brutality and the movement for black lives. We don’t simply want to share memes and tweet our support, nor do we want to take fleeting, temporary action in response to a systemic problem. Today in this special episode, I’m sharing our plan for substantively shifting our everyday business practices to go beyond diversity and inclusion and practice active allyship by instituting more anti-racist systems into our business model. I review the plan in detail in the episode, and encourage you to read it via the link below as well. I invite your feedback to help us do more and be better.
