    How White People Can Be Allies with Kim P

    How White People Can Be Allies with Kim P

    Tune into this incredible conversation with Kim P, a passionate Anti-Racism Educator, DEI facilitator, and disruptor. She talks about the importance role white folks have as allies to BIPOC individuals, especially during these times of turmoil and uncertainty. We discuss the responsibility of an ally and why acknowledgment is key in order for folks to take accountability for creating such a society. The goal is not to feel guilty, it is to understand that we are all human. Whether or not you are impacted by racism, the truth is that it exists and you can choose to care about it. This is the work we need to do for our future generations.

    The State of Civil Rights in America Today: Part 1 with Joan Trumpauer Mulholland & Loki Mulholland

    The State of Civil Rights in America Today: Part 1 with Joan Trumpauer Mulholland & Loki Mulholland

    As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January & Black History Month in February, I couldn't think of a better way to observe them than by interviewing the incomparable Joan Trumpauer Mulholland. If you don't know who she is...just Google her!! You've probably seen her mugshot or the picture of her sitting at a lunch counter sit-in protest at 19 years old in your history books or most Civil Rights documentaries about the Freedom Riders.
    I was so honored and humbled when she and her son, Loki Mulholland agreed to sit down with me for a 2-part interview. We started off by having Ms. Joan walk me through her Civil Rights experience as a White woman born and raised in the South who felt a personal calling to be a part of the change in dismantling discrimination and racism. I don't usually do video interviews for my podcast...but Ms. Joan's interview was too special not to be honored and memorialized virtually! So please check out the episode on my YouTube channel as well!
    As she shares in her interview, this country is going backwards and it's very concerning that all of the work of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s is under attack again.
    Make sure to tune in next week for Part 2!
