We’re rolling onto the next in our limited series. Michelle MiJung Kim joins Dr. Akilah Cadet, in a conversation between two equity and inclusion entrepreneurs!
After the murder of George Floyd, they found themselves in a similar position. Overworked, swamped with clients, and many were looking to them for guidance. A space existed where many knew something should be done, but not what to do. Michelle talks about aligning your actions with your values (and also in her new book The Wake Up), centering marginalized experiences, and creating a culture of care.
Michelle MiJung Kim (she/her) is a queer immigrant Korean American woman writer, speaker, activist, and entrepreneur who lives in Oakland. She is CEO and co-founder of Awaken, a leading provider of interactive equity and inclusion education programs facilitated by majority BIPOC educators, where she has consulted hundreds of organizations and top executives from Fortune 500, tech giants, nonprofits, and government agencies to spark meaningful change. Michelle has been a lifelong social justice activist and has served on a variety of organizations.
