S4E2 Diversity & Inclusion at work: race & ethnicity pt. 1

Content warning: references to trauma, discrimination, and verbal and physical violence.

In today’s episode we talk about race and ethnicity. From racially charged attacks, to being the only person of your ethnicity in an entire organisation, to the daily microaggressions that go unseen by so many, we ask the question: how can we all do better? And going forward, what can organisations do to make their culture more diverse and inclusive to all ethnicities?

This episode was produced by Alice Crabtree.
