In light of what has been happening recently in the world with Black lives Matter and the topic of racism being brought forward, I thought I would open up the conversation around this topic to bring a different perspective and to provide some illumination and guidance as to what we can do as individuals to bring forth some much needed change.
I asked Tash Brooks from Lusid Beauty to join me to share her thoughts, feelings and some experiences on navigating the world as a person of colour in a system that upholds white supremacy.
