The Magic of Being Truly Seen With Andrea Forsht

Ever felt on display yet invisible at the same time? For many mixed race, racially ambiguous people, especially women, this experience at the intersection of objectification and being ignored is very familiar. Andrea Forsht, the Chief Consulting Officer at Hummingbird Humanity, joins as a guest to share stories of her journey towards self discovery, fitting in and personal growth while also dropping nuggets of wisdom around how leaders and companies can approach culture building and inclusive employee experience work. Andrea and Nikki talk about the impact that the larger cultural awakening and conversation about racism in 2020 has had on their personal development, professional paths and their friendships/relationships in both progressive and challenging ways. They also discuss the importance of experiencing an internal sense of physical safety, belonging and empowerment in your own body, as a woman, a person of color and a mother when the world around you can leave you feeling like a vulnerable target.
