Season 7 Episode#21 Debunking Common Myths About Cultural Competence Training
Description
Welcome back to The Cultural Curriculum Chat with your host, Jebeh Edmunds! In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the most common myths about cultural competency—and why they’re holding back real progress in our schools, organizations, and communities.
💭 Have you ever heard someone say:
- “Isn’t cultural competency just common sense?”
- “We treat everyone the same—why do we need training?”
- “Isn’t this just Diversity 101?”
If so, this episode is for YOU. Jebeh breaks down:
- Why cultural competency goes far beyond food, flags, and festivals
- The difference between diversity (the who) and competency (the how)
- Why a one-time workshop won't cut it—and what sustainable, meaningful practice really looks like
- Real client stories from Jebeh Cultural Consulting’s 5-year journey, working with 80+ organizations
- How to build inclusive systems through reflection, action, and culturally responsive leadership
💡 If you're ready to ditch performative practices and start implementing actionable, long-lasting change, don't miss this empowering conversation.
