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. Team: Conscious and Diverse Hiring for future team members Diversity + Inclusivity Mentorship with Trudi LeBron Conscious Spending on Black-Owned Businesses Collaborations: Saying no to speaking at events that don't have a diverse lineup Connecting with and amplifying the voices of black creators, educators, and coaches Platform: Using my influence to share about Black Lives Matter on my podcast, stories, feed, and email. 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: Creating a trauma-informed and consent-based sales and marketing process Reviewing and editing marketing language and materials to ensure experiences of BIPOC are included, acknowledged, or displayed. Re-Writing and Stating our company values: Inclusivity + Diversity Integrity Humanity Over Profit Internal and External Transformation Authentic Empowerment Open Communication and Safety Trauma-Informed Enjoyment Intimate Connection Internal Growth Personal: Having The Racism Conversations with White friends, colleagues, and family members Personal inner work on dismantling my own white supremacy biases and racial prejudices Transparently sharing where I'm at personally as I integrate more anti-racism lessons and learn more about my own patterns that perpetuate white supremacy.
