Soul Searching Reflection and Conversation
Conversations about race and racial equity are oftentimes uncomfortable and challenging regardless of the setting; so much so that in professional and business settings they are oftentimes intentionally avoided. Diversity and inclusion staff trainings usually focus on skill building or implicit bias, but rarely is the end goal/objective focused on advancing racial equity. A corporate commitment to advancing racial equity and social impact requires self-inventory, constant reflection, and honest conversations in corporate board rooms, leadership team meetings, or one on one conversations with an executive coach.
