Over here at Team BKP, we’ve been on an anti-racist and anti-bias journey since July of 2020. Inclusion and belonging are two of our company’s core values and we are committed to foster diversity in our programs and create a safe space for all. But doing this means we have had to educate ourselves. 

Our team is primarily white and cisgender so that means we inherently do not have the lived experiences of actors and creatives that we welcome into our spaces. So, we are on this journey to do better…  

• To become the leaders that we want to become
• Walk the walk
• Lead with our values
• Hold ourselves accountable

With the help of anti-oppression business strategist and inclusive leadership coach, Nadi Fantastic, Team BKP, in this first episode of a two part series, starts the process of diving deep into our anti-racist commitment - we share where we fell short and where we thrived. In this episode, we publicly hold ourselves accountable by sharing our Accountability Report with the world. 

We talk about what comes up in our business and how we can do better. This includes:

• Learning how to do an accessibility check-in 
• Using skin colored emojis 
• Being transparent and vulnerable with our values

I’m excited for you to listen as I know you will get a good sense of how you are showing up in your own life and for your anti-racist values as an artist and creative.
