That’s a Microaggression! Now What? Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

We’ve grown to be able to say the word “microaggression.” Now what? Well, the realWork begins- the work to figure out what to do when they happen and how to support targets and hold perpetrators accountable. It’s not reasonable to say we will be free of them, so let’s get real about how we will handle them.

Happy Black History AND Black Futures Month! Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

It’s just as important to celebrate our future as it is to honor our past. So tell me who you are remembering? Who are you following that is setting a vision for how we thrive as a people? What organizations, past and present, are you lifting up? I will be honoring the complexity of Black identity and rejecting the idea that we are monolithic. Happy Black History AND Black Futures Month!

Show notes
