In this powerful discussion with repeat guest, Farah Harris, we delve into the realms of emotional intelligence, leadership, and privilege.

Join us as we explore how emotional intelligence plays a pivotal role in helping with unchecked bias, confronting the pervasive issue of racism, and harnessing privilege to become true allies in today's diverse and interconnected world.
