IM21: How to Navigate Identity and Racism in Corporate Culture with Regina Jackson

Episode notes

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we are featuring one of the most impactful moments from episode 51, with guest Regina Jackson. As a woman of color, it is not your responsibility to educate others about racism, but how do you navigate racist issues in corporate culture? That’s what we’re discussing in this episode. Regina was born in Chicago in 1950 and remembers the violence perpetrated on innocent people, like the horrific treatment of civil rights workers throughout the south, by white people. These memories drive Regina to push for real change in America and are why she founded Race2Dinner with Saira Roa in 2019. Race2Dinner is an organisation that facilitates honest conversation about race with white women to ensure that their allyship is more than performative. This episode is just a short snippet that highlights the best and most powerful learning moment from a past episode.
