Do you have a stack of half-read anti-racism books on your nightstand gathering dust?
Do you avoid thinking about how white supremacy shows up in your business because it fills you with dread (plus a heaping dose of fear, guilt, and shame)?
You’re not alone. And it’s time to step into the discomfort—because this conversation matters.
I recently sat down with Therapist and Anti-Oppression Consultant, Atiq Shomar, on the Deeply Rested podcast to talk about the ways white supremacy culture has seeped into our businesses—and what we can do to change it.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
✔ The history of white supremacy culture and white privilege in the therapy field
✔ Why this work is essential if you want to create safe, inclusive spaces
✔ 5 ways white supremacy might be showing up in your business
✔ 5 things you can (and should!) do to start dismantling it today
Atiq is warm, wise, and clear-eyed—the kind of teacher who makes hard truths easier to hear. I walked away from this conversation feeling empowered to make real change in my business. I think you will too. Check out Atiq's work at atiqshomar.com
