Customer Reviews
TonyTidbit Brings the Truth from A Black Executive Perspective
ABEP podcast is Excellent. What gets shared is relevant and clearly stated by Tony and all his guests. There is a good use of data and historical references to back up statements. You’ll get out a lot out of the conversations if you’re here to learn and grow!
A must listen
Each episode lends a great conversation between professionals. Real issues affecting people of color in the workplace and society that EVERYONE should be aware of.
Powerful Conversations on Race
Tony draws on his personal experience as an executive and on current research to discuss timely questions regarding race and business in an open thoughtful manner. U.S. and global companies serious about a commitment to ethical success need occupants of the C suites and board members to honestly engage with the issues Tony raises regarding the ongoing history of explicit and implicit racism.
