from Say It Skillfully® · host Molly Tschang

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive & productive manner. In Episode 48, the 5th feature of “Our Voices”, sports & entertainment attorney Jaia Thomas shares her journey of both serendipity & conscious choices. She recounts learning early not to fear speaking up on issues of injustice or inequality and shows how her habit of taking the initiative has repeatedly led to opening doors and creating opportunity (including working w/ actor Will Smith). A stint supporting Barack Obama’s presidential campaign opened her eyes to politics & voting (16:00). Jaia founded Diverse Representation to promote diversity in sports & entertainment (26:05). She talks of being a trial-and-error entrepreneur. We tackle a sensitive conversation re: an introduction she’s not comfortable making (36:15). Join the show to hear how all can be safe, seen and heard, and our true and best selves.
