Episode #70: The Anti-Racism Journey with @Kristin_Roe

Summary

Join Laura & Patrice for this lesson on anti-racism to move towards action, as we call in white women & other peers to do the work with our guest, Kristin Roe. It's a journey, not a checklist, training, or t-shirt.

Show Notes

In this episode of #InVinoFab, Patrice and Laura are joined by a repeat guest (ep. 31), Kristin Roe, to talk about anti-racism education. We get real and talk about what diversity, equity, and inclusion work is -- and how to talk and really dig deeper into these issues. Instead of blaming the system or structure or event, we discuss how we recognize how our own whiteness, power, and privilege is only reinforced on the regular. This episode is not meant to be a checklist, but a way to challenge all of us to “get in shape” to have these awkward conversations. Some of the anti-racism work is not just a checklist, book, or training -- get comfortable with getting uncomfortable, get ready to reflect and unlearn, fumble & stumble as we move from education into daily practice and action.
