Race, politics, religion, sexism... we all know the hot button, sensitive issues that come up at work. But how comfortable are we all in navigating these conversations? The Dames got together to celebrate the historic win of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, and then segued into a conversation to discuss sensitive issues in the workplace. What are those topics that ARE sensitive, but it's important to talk about them anyway? How do we step out of an uncomfortable conversation when it just doesn't feel right? The Dames chat through all of this and more. Learn more at dametalkpodcast.com.

The Dames sat down in March 2020 to interview Dr. Anne Beal, founder of AbsoluteJOI, a skincare company designed by and for women of color - "When people think about toxic free living, and that kind of crunchy granola lifestyle, the face of that lifestyle is rarely a black or brown face and that’s something that I want to change." We've have been anxious to share this episode with our listeners, but due to some audio tech issues,  had to re-record the first half later in the year. Excited to re-publish this conversation as part of our Entrepreneur Series and share the incredible learnings that Dr. Beal shared with us! Learn more about Dame Talk at www.dametalkpodcast.com.

On this episode of Dame Talk, the Dames hear from two dedicated elementary school teachers who view teaching as a form of social justice. Angela Messerschmidt and Krishawna Goins share their experience as teachers adjusting to the temporary - and sudden - changes brought on by the COVID19 pandemic. From helping six year olds learn how to use video conferencing technology (and learning the technology themselves!) to celebrating the wins while recognizing the serious shortfalls and inequities of remote learning, join the Dames for an insightful look at one of the sectors that has been turned upside down the most under the current pandemic.
