Addressing Racial Inequality In Our Workspaces
The overwhelming responses across the country to the recent events and policies/ practices that disproportionately impact BIPOC has sparked the overdue and necessary conversations on race and politics in the workplace. The weight of confronting racial inequality is on us all, and while these conversations will be difficult and deeply emotional, they are crucial and fundamental to solving internal issues and making strides towards a racially just workplace. Your commitment to learn and apply racially just practices is important now more than ever. Let’s work together on that commitment.
