The See Us podcast is a new initiative hoping to provide students at UBC Sauder with more transparent communication from the CUS, amplify marginalized and non-traditional voices in Business, and build a more welcoming community within our school. Join host Ky Sargeant each episode, as she breaks down the CUS News you need to know, chats with awesome guests, and spends too long going off on random tangents related to student life.

    Recognizing Black History Month and Being an Ally

    Today, February 28th, is the last day of Black history month and though I believe every month should be black history month (because history shouldn't be divided by race), I took this opportunity to speak with Chiamaka (Chichi) Achebe, an extraordinary 2nd-year student about her experiences in and out of Sauder. Lastly, we wrap up the episode with a discussion on what it means to be an Ally, and how we can move away from performative allyship toward actions that create tangible impact.
