Brown, Brainy & Beautiful

In this episode we will be talking about the concept of vulnerability. A couple of years ago research professor Brené Brown went viral with her TEDtalk on this topic. As a researcher she defines the concept of vulnerability by uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure. Having collected 13.000 pieces of data over a period of 12 years, she ultimately concluded that vulnerability is about taking courage. Although these research findings speak a sense of truth, in this episode we will unpack what vulnerability and its paradoxes mean in our ordinary daily lives. I am joined by Edward Kerkhof and Nicholas Toko - with both of them I’ve shared interesting, but different conversations about vulnerability.

In this episode we will be talking about diversity and inclusion in the workforce. A topic that increasingly has been advocated by organisations - by means of really caring or fear of missing out and losing organisational legitimacy. 

It is for this reason that in this episode I am joined by expert Sophie van Gool - who is on a mission to close the gender and ethnic wage gap.

In this episode we will be talking about curls and its identity dynamic, as I'm joined by fellow curly, Dutch-Moroccan women: Ikram and Ilham. What made us embrace our curls? And how does this tie into the bigger scheme of self-acceptance? Tune in to hear what we found out beneath our popping curls.

Keepin' it real with inspirational conversations.
