14. Joining the Narrative: Vulnerable Conversations on Racism w/Brent Corbett

Join me and my close friend, Brent Corbett, in this expansive discussion on the heavy topic of racism and black lives matter. Brent shares a little bit of his history and his journey into the world of motivational speaking. He walks us through his perspective as a black man in regards to racism and gently walks us through ways we can begin to become more positively involved in this narrative. This discussion is far from black and white (no pun intended) and makes a point of highlighting all sides of the narrative. I so appreciate Brent’s patient and gentle manner as he sheds some light on this powerful movement.Interview Links:Book: The Autobiography of Malcolm XBook: The Pedagogy of the OppressedBook: Lies My Teacher Told MeBook: The Topology of ViolenceWhere to Find Brent:InstagramConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutubeOther Anti-Racism ResourcesFILMSOn Netflix:13thAmerican SonDear White PeopleSee You YesterdayWhen They See UsAmazon Prime:Just MercyThe Hate You GiveI Am Not Your NegroThe Last Black Man in San FranciscoFreedom SummerTwo Black Men A WeekPodcastsAbout RacePod Save the PeopleThe Diversity GapMomentum: A Race Forward PodcastPod for the Cause1619 by the New York TimesBooksThe Bluest EyeBlack Feminist ThoughtEloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower I Know Why the Caged Bird SingsSo You Want to Talk About RaceThe Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First CenturyThe Warmth of Other SunsOrganizations Black Women’s BlueprintColor of ChangeUnited We DreamThe Conscious KidThe Leadership Conference on Civil & Human RightsSisterSongColorlinesEqual Justice InitiativeMagnetic Moment ChallengeThis week I am challenging each of you to buy a book, watch a documentary, listen to an interview, read an article, etc related to racism.
