- Technology
Dr. Sarah L. Webb joins me to explore DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) along with Colorism. This is a fascinating conversation about some important aspects about how challenges are showing up in the workplace based off the socially constructed meanings of skin tones.In this second Part the interview with Dr. Webb, we discuss:
*How colorism is part of why we are not making more progress with racial justice and equity.
How recognizing the personal privileges and biases we all have helps us improve our relationships and our position in the social fabric.
Accepting that we are not individually responsible for racism and extending that compassion from ourselves to others.
And that while race is a social construct, skin tone is a biological fact with socially constructed meanings.
Dr. Sarah L. Webb is the founder of Colorism Healing, a global leader in raising awareness, shifting attitudes, and taking action to address colorism with corporate, consumer, and community strategies.
