Race Talk David Morse

It was less than two weeks after the storming of the U.S. Capitol and the night before President Joe Biden’s inauguration.  I spoke with Mario X. Carrasco, Co-Founder and Principal of ThinkNow, an award-winning, technology driven cultural insights agency. The plan was to talk about multicultural marketing.  We did.  But we talked about a whole lot more.

After a week that ripped America apart, I turned to my friend, Derek Walker, of Brown and Browner Advertising, to provide a racial perspective.  He blew me away.

In this episode, our guest is Valerie J. Lyons, founder of Valerie J. Lyons Enterprises, and author of the book, “Power Networking from the Inside Out: Where Your Career and Your Well Being Meet”.  Valerie discusses institutional racism and how networking can help to dismantle systematic oppression.

In this interview, Jinghuan Liu Tervalon, an insights and strategy executive at The Coca-Cola Company, talks about her racial awakening journey and her anti-racist work in both the corporate world and the running community, while busting the model minority myth. 

In this episode, I interview Nia Clark, a TV news reporter and the host of “Black Wall Street – 1921,” a podcast chronicling the Tulsa Race Massacre.  Nia gives a fascinating account of what has been called “the single worst incident of racial violence in American history.”

In this episode of Race Talk, high school teacher, Joi Cox, shares her views of how race and racism impact education, and how teaching, when done effectively, can help undermine racist attitudes.
