S2E7: The Model Minority

The "Model Minority Myth", a phrase I learned from Ijeoma Oluo, is a tool the supremacy uses to keep BIPOC folx hating on one another. Our achievements are weaponized against one another and this becomes yet another one of the burdens we carry. We must break free from this toxic pattern and break out of this myth. The reason I'm talking about this today is because as a leader, it's imperative for you to know about the workings of the model minority myth so that you and your organization aren't operating from this deeply ingrained erroneous belief meant as a weapon to keep people down. Today's episode is sponsored by: The Sanctuary for BIPOC Women in Leadership If you're a BIPOC womxn in leadership, and you'd like to connect with a group of others who look like you, who have similar experiences to yours, and who are tired of the bull shit (just like you) then head on over to www.bipocsanctuary.com to learn more and get on the interest list.
