Who holds power when things are named? In this episode, Kelly talks about how the language of injustice shapes how we craft and bring together words. As a mother of 5 children, all who are of African and Dutch descent, Kelly shares how having a liberatory mindset helps her navigate this unfamiliar terrain as a mother with skin colour privilege. She also explains why we need to invent a language of justice so we shift our culture towards justice.
Kelly Diels as a feminist educator, writer and coach. She specializes in feminist marketing for culture makers.

- What guides Kelly so she creates a safe space at home for her mixed race children without causing racial harm
- What white fragility really is and the questions white people can use to interrogate their relationship to a system that demeans, oppresses, and abuses
- How intersectional identities create nuance, complexity, and layers (and how Kelly navigates her dominant and marginalized identities)
- The one academic whose framework guides Kelly in all that she does and how others, no matter their leadership potential, can use this method in their communities, corporations, and homes
- The injustice that Kelly named and how doing so has helped she and her clients understand the power of naming things
