Let's talk about names and let's talk about race. In fact, let's talk about both on the newest episode of The SPEAK™ Podcast, where our micro-theme is "what's in a name and a race" where we focus on three incredible speakers that discuss racial excellence, the heritage of a name, and unspoken racism. We're featuring talks from some of our recent pop-up events: Heritage and Disrupt.
