156 How to be a genuine ally and advocate for people of colour with Annie Gichuru
About this episode
Today we’re having an incredibly important conversation around how to be a genuine ally and advocate for people of colour.
We go deep on the topic of calling in and calling out (and the place for both).
We talk about the desire to have a business that is culturally diverse and inclusive, plus how you can get started if that feels incredibly overwhelming.
And we work through the fears that may come up around saying the wrong thing, being misunderstood, or being afraid of what your friends and family might say.
If you’re looking to educate yourself around how you can build a business that is culturally and racially diverse, inclusive, and equitable—this conversation is an absolute MUST listen that is going to help you navigate this journey and create a business that truly aligns with your values.
