The Empowered in Color Podcast: Helping People of Color Thrive in Business and in Life

Empowered in Color is dedicated to helping people of color thrive in both business and in life. The core of Empowered in Color is positive representation. As a society we are just now discovering the importance and power of positive representation, and we want to do the same when it comes to work. We want you to see other people working in different industries making a name for themselves and doing great things, and we want you to be reminded that it is possible for you too. Empowered in Color strives to be a place to find people you can support or purchase products/services from marginalized groups. It strives to be a place where you can connect or collaborate with someone who looks like you. It strives to be a place where you can come into a community and not be "othered" for being who you are. It strives to celebrate the diversity and creativity of the people around us.

    EIC 053: A Radically Honest Conversation About Spirituality in The Diaspora with The Bratty Brujita, Yvette Montoya

    Happy Latinx Heritage Month! Today we're covering an extremely personal topic on the podcast: spirituality. We're talking to Yvette, The Bratty Brujita, about how she fell into becoming a spiritual practitioner & being paid for it, how it has helped her heal from previous traumas, and why we ALL need to be more in tune with spirituality. It was a radically honest conversation that would, at the very least, give you a lot to think about and consider in regards to your own personal life and journey.

    EIC 051: Dealing With A Career Crossroads & What To Do

    I've spent the last few months at a career crossroads, torn between what my head says to logically do and what my heart wants me to do to be fulfilled.  Today's episode will detail all of that and the break Empowered in Color will be going on until September. I'll talk about what I've been dealing with, what I've learned about myself in the process, and what that means for you/EIC in the future!

    EIC 050: Intersectionality and Pride

    We want to close out Pride Month talking about something that impacts how we approach everything we do at Empowered in Color: Intersectionality. If you've been following us for a while you're likely familiar with the term already, but we think it's always good to have a refresher and relate it back to Pride because even many people of color still aren't fully on board with supporting the LGBTQ+ community, many of whom are poc and in our communities themselves.

    EIC 049: Ask HR about Diversity, Equity, Inclusion with Patricia Figueroa of Your Human Resource

    One year after the murder of George Floyd, support for the Black Lives Matter movement and police reform has gone down especially from white folks, and many companies haven't done much change internally to make significant strides towards true Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI).  Today's episode was taken from our first-ever workshop/webinar back in April where we had HR professional Patricia Figueroa talk about how people can navigate discussions and concerns over DEI in the workplace, as well as offer some insight from a human resources perspective.

    EIC 048: The "PI" in AAPI with Lilian Dirrebes

    While the month of May is meant to celebrate both the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, Pacific Islander (also known as Pasifika) folks are often tokenized or completely left out of the conversation and celebration. Today I'm sitting down with Lilian Dirrebes, a Palauan American from Portland, Oregon to talk about her identity as a Pasifika person, how she's managed to stay true to her identity in a place so white like PDX, and how people need to be more intentional and considerate of the Pasifika community when we have these conversations around the "AAPI" umbrella.  Mentioned on this week's episode: Empowered in Color Instagram - Follow us to see when we share "who to follow" lists during heritage/history months Kriselle's Twitter, Lilian's Twitter Lilian's Instagram Lilian's Art Website, IG The "Pasifika Connection" Twitter List 33 Pasifika Creatives to Follow on IG: @guma_gela @byclayjosh @hafaroldy @rockin_roquin @gilli.art @diechee @jerryfish103 @shaycolorway @despicerorak @kathyjkijiner @infinitedakota @ngaiire @kaiit_isshe @melanesianmarks @teptok @sunameke @lumailabel @_sketchydreamer_ @the_art_serge @ropate_kama @jeffry_feeger_art @jahra.wasa @ahuacollective @fafswag @patityrell @tuloucollective @sloaneleong @_lehuauakea_ @vkukua @GystForKickz @reina_the_poet @numanaturesgentleman @jamie_berry_artist If you're interested in crowdfunding, check out our Crowdfunding Starter Kit!

    EIC 047: Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month

    After a monthlong break, we are back to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPIHM) as well as Mental Health Awareness Month! Today's episode is a short reminder of how we all need to be better in celebrating this month for the AAPI community by being intentional about inclusion and not just tokenizing us. It's also quite fitting that Mental Health Awareness Month is during the month of May as well.  Mentioned on this week's episode: EIC 046: Anti-Asian Violence and How Podcasting Has Shaped My Voice If you're interested in crowdfunding, check out our Crowdfunding Starter Kit!
