197. Exposing The Roots (Racism, Ableism, Microagressions, + More)

Friends! Did you know that not only are we in the middle of Black History Month but also Inclusion Month?! Today we’re honoring the adversities faced by advocates before us and celebrating the changes we’re making now that will impact future generations. After all, the end goal is the same: creating spaces of belonging for everyone, and we mean everyone. And we know we’re in a vulnerable moment in society, and in order to make lasting changes for future generations, we need to put in the hard (sometimes uncomfortable) work. And that’s what this episode is all about. We’re discussing microaggressions towards the Black and disabled communities, how we challenge systems to change, why separate programs can sometimes be a valuable asset, and what inclusion looks like in our own lives. We hope you join us for this important conversation about all these topics + more… ableism, the intrinsic worth of every human, you know, super lighthearted discussion right?! -- SHOW NOTES Listen to the episodes we mentioned! 146.
