Beyond Allyship with Dr. Jpop

“It is about how you operationalize it, how you look at every piece of your business, including your finances. Who does the money go to? What do you fund? What do you not fund? Who do you promote? Who do you compensate fairly? Who do you not? How do you make sure that what you say on paper is lived out in practice?” - Dynasti Hunt

The 1964 Civil Rights Act Title VII brought us equal opportunity employment legislation which spelled out the way companies were no longer allowed to discriminate in their hiring, promotion, and firing.

But multiple discrimination lawsuits filed with the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission in the late 1960s and early 1970s led to companies being mandated to complete anti-discriminatory training. This was how DEI was introduced to the business world.

Sixty-plus years later, we have learned that the best approach is not holding several one-off trainings, but instead weaving DEI principles into business practices.

In this episode, DEI consultant Dynasti Hunt shares with us what DEI really means, questions for an organization to consider when hiring a DEI consultant, and the top questions she asks when starting to work with an organization.

“It is very important to dissect if you are a part of the culture or race group being affected or whether you are an ally or an advocate. You have to break it down to look at the actual pain, the cause, and the triggers all at the same time.” - Dr. Lisseth London

Knowing that race is a social construct doesn’t make the global impact of racism disappear into thin air. It’s really just the first step in the journey of understanding how our history still has an effect on the health of communities of people who the construct was created to exploit and oppress.

In this episode, Dr. Jpop is joined by Dr. Lisseth London, an international trauma specialist and founder of Lisseth London Global Consulting. 

Dr. London enlightens us on what racial and trans-generational trauma is, who it impacts, what it means to be trauma-informed, and the necessity of facing the painful aspects of history so that it is not repeated.

If you were looking for event spaces to book for a birthday party, it’s not likely a morgue would be on your list. Why? Because a morgue is a place that handles death; a necessary space but not created with the intent of a celebration of the living. Understanding the intention of a space we occupy helps us calibrate expectations to appropriately meet the moment.

When George Floyd was murdered in 2020, there were reactions of grief, anger, hopelessness, etc. At that same moment, Floyd’s death awakened White people to social injustices that had been in existence for hundreds of years. And because we were just a few months into the pandemic, all of those people who were mourning and waking up were expressing themselves on social media.

On one hand, people were speaking out more and learning from so many. The chaos came when White people who were just waking up were asking Black people who were mourning to educate them. Watching that chaos unfold was what inspired me to start Building Allyship. Marginalized humans understand the power of being in community with their people, it is essential to our survival. White people who wanted to be better allies needed a space where they could learn, challenge their beliefs and find community with others who were on the same journey.

In this introductory episode Dr. Jpop talks about what becoming an effective ally entails, why learning the history of the US and social injustices need to happen in an intentional space, and what to expect from this podcast.
