    Part 1: Unlearning Racial Inequity in the Workplace: The True State of DE&I

    Part 1: In recent years, many companies have made declarations about being inclusive. In reality, few have followed through. Even then, good intentions and follow-through haven’t necessarily translated into real transformation and race equality in the workplace. Yet as the latest US census and many other data points show, reaching an increasingly diverse marketplace in the US is crucial to business success now and in the future. In this episode, our hosts and guest dive straight into the conversation of workplace DE&I. We share personal experiences at work and the key differences we've experienced from a racial equity standpoint in the US compared to other places we've lived and worked. We imagine we have the power to single-handedly change business, work, and customer experiences from an inclusion standpoint and share a picture of that vision.Connect with Omar L.

    Unleashing Banned books About Race, Part 1: Why Authors of Color Are Being Banned & Its Effect

    Banned books have become a huge topic over the past few years. We’ve seen books banned by authors many of us grew up reading, and it's no coincidence that authors of color and LGBTQ authors are being banned disproportionately. But, why are books being banned and what are the negative effects? In this episode, we chat with guests Penny Eifrig, Crystel Patterson, and Sandra Elaine Scott about why and how books are being banned, what the creative community is doing about it, and whether it's ever appropriate.

    Undoing Cultural Appropriation, Part 2: What It Is, Why It's Bad & The Line Between Cultural Appreciation

When does cultural influence/appreciation cross the line into appropriation?   In this episode of Deeper Than Color, hosts Chris Gee, Ayat Shukairy, and Karen Amundson grappled with this topic as they don't exactly agree with one another 100% of the time.  In addition to sharing their viewpoint on what cultural appropriation is, our hosts and guests discuss why it's so problematic, who gets to decide when there is cultural appropriation, and which elements, if any, of our culture should we celebrate going mainstream.   Connect with Sonia Thompson: https://inclusivemarketing.co/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/soniaethompson/ https://www.instagram.com/soniaethompson/ https://inclusivemarketing.co/category/podcast/  Thank you to our sponsors apiarydigital.com and invespcro.com
