Episode 17: A Year Black as the Night is Long and how to be a better Ally
Description
Black is King...
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
I return from Summer break having experienced Beyonce dropping the most amazing and blackest piece of art we've ever had the privilege to enjoy. We are just getting started with what can be viewed as the reignition of the Black Civil Rights Movement after the murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the passing of some of our great Black leaders and Black Action Heros. Plus we are experiencing our very own Black Plague. It's been one tough summer and year, y'all!
In this episode of The Soa Inspired Podcast, I share my experiences navigating Summer 2020, which just felt heavy and offer a space to recognize my feelings around it all. I share my experiences dealing with a non-diverse organization that failed at supporting minorities and uplifting their employees and how other companies can continue uplifting their #BlackLivesMatter Allyship:
- Stay in tune
- Stay present
- Check your privilege and privilege of others
- Support blackness without coping the culture
- Know your role
