223: Our Anti-Racism Action Plan

In this solo episode, I discuss my and my teams action plan for how we are going to move forward as anti-racist allies now and into the future. I’m looking forward to walking you through what we are doing internally to truly integrate these plans moving forward.

We walk through a transparent awareness of where I was at in my own process when everything began unfolding around the time of George Floyd's death, where I've made mistakes in the past, my plan within my team structure, on my platform, within collaborations, and in my personal life.

2. Diversity + Inclusivity Mentorship with Trudi LeBron
3. Conscious Spending on Black-Owned Businesses

 

Collaborations:

1. Saying no to speaking at events that don’t have a diverse lineup
2. Connecting with and amplifying the voices of black creators, educators, and coaches

 

Platform: 

1. Using my influence to share about Black Lives Matter on my podcast, stories, feed, and email.
2. Using my influence and voice to advocate for BIPOC and do the emotional labor online when there are racist, white supremacist, or racially charged posts from others.

 

Business Systems:

1. Creating a trauma-informed and consent-based sales and marketing process
