Brand Diversity and Inclusion with Reema Rafay

Reema Rafay is a Muslim entrepreneur, mother, and diversity and inclusion advisor. Today on the show, Reema shares with Jen some stories of racial abuse she experienced as a child. She explains how these experiences, and her father’s teachings of compassion, have shaped her into the woman she is today. The two also touch on the drawbacks of forced tokenism within marketing and the importance of asking questions about those who are different from you–when we’re not afraid to inquire there’s always a greater love and understanding on the other side.Today on Becoming Iconic:The story of Reema’s upbringing and racial abuseHow can we open our businesses to serve everyone?How tokenism does more harm than good when done irresponsiblyWhy accepting others does not negate the denial of selfWhy you should take on the responsibility to learn about peopleA reminder that it’s okay to ask questions about what you don’t understandConnect with Reema:Instagram: @reemarafayLinkedIn : Website: reemarafay.comConnect with Jen:Sign-up for ARTiculate Free Course: Manifestation in MotionInstagram: @becomingiconic Website: becomingiconic.co This show is produced by Soulfire ProductionsConnect with Jen:Read Magazine here: @iconicmagazine__Business Mentorship here: @becomingiconicWatch here: @theiconicmagazineAll resources: becomingiconic.co
