This episode is around Leah's experiences as a black woman and how it has shaped her life today.

Ways we can all become an advocate/ally in the black community: 

  • Organizations to support: 

    • Black Women for Wellness: https://bwwla.org/

    • Center for Black Equity: https://centerforblackequity.org/

    • Color of Change: https://colorofchange.org/ 

    • Diversify your social media by following and supporting black artists, poets, lifestyle & content creators. Here are a few of my favorite creators: @cleanfoodiecravings, @blacktherapistsrock, @balancedles, @michellcclark, @alex

    • Books: So you want to talk about race by Ijeoma Oluo & Don’t Touch My Hair by Sharee Miller 

    • Support your Black Friends: Lead with empathy, be an active listener and ask questions about their experience (without trying to interrupt). Try making new friends outside of your day to day circle. 

    • How to support your Black colleagues at work/general: 

      • Be an ally, listener and supporter. Provide your Black colleagues with opportunities, suggestions, encouragement and support. 

      • Bring diversity to the table, invite more colleagues from marginalized groups to influential gatherings and encourage them to partake in the conversation.
