Showing Up A Little Late To The Party With Ron Cecil

My guest this week is Masculine Wholeness Coach, Ron Cecil. We were introduced by our mutual friend and previous guest Darrell Wade of Black Men's Wellness. Ron was good enough to engage in an experiment that most of us white folks are very hesitant to engage in- talking about waking up to the racism that is in us, all around us, that we knowingly and unknowingly participate in. We wanted to model in this episode honesty, vulnerability, and owning the things we've done that we wish we could bury and not admit to.  Ron embraces this conversation with transparency that all white folks trying to look at racism and live anti-racist should aspire to. We sat smack in to middle of the discomfort around having this conversation and tried to not get stuck there but move forward one step at a time. Did we do it all right? No. Did we try? Yes. Is there more work to do? Always.  As always thank you for listening. If you have any suggestions for topics or guests email me here at [email protected] heading podcast.
