Mercer Carlin on Leaving the Vision of "Normal" Behind | From Corporate Leadership to Grassroots Work
Description
Should #CorporateAmerica play a role in our demand for #SocialChange?
In the first two episodes of the Grow Dialogue Podcast, we talked about the importance of exploring #CorporateCulture as a system in order to begin a healthy dialogue around where we stand as a society, and how we can ignite change individually and collectively.
We’re excited to share a new episode that explores corporate culture narratives.
In this transparent and insightful episode, Dr. Sundiata Soon-Jahta chats with Mercer Carlin to reveal the challenges behind navigating identity and otherness in corporate spaces, and why she transitioned into grassroots work in order to support her #liberation and the liberation of others.
Enjoy, comment, and share this episode with your people!
