Jacquie Abram had a career in higher education that she was very good at & that she enjoyed. A career that paid her an income, which as a single mother of two girls was the only income, that allowed her to not only provide for her family, but also pay her bills. A career that spanned nearly two decades & by any measure should’ve been a successful career. But it wasn’t. Because throughout her career, Jacquie experienced racism in the workplace, not the kind you see in a lot of movies, books, and TVs shows about racism that occurred decades ago during a time when it was more overt & easily spotted, but the kind of racism that is more covert, hidden, & harder to prove.

And so her career was derailed multiple times by multiple employers & she suffered racial trauma that, to this day, she has not fully recovered from. And when the same thing happened to others including both of her girls after they began careers of their own, she pulled herself out of corporate America, wrote HUSH MONEY, a book inspired by true events & co-authored by her girls, & began selling it from the trunk of her car in March 2021 to provide employers with a better way to understand racism, provide employees with a better way to fight it & survive the battle, and provide allies with a better way to see and feel the FULL impact of modern-day racism .

Are you our next guest host?

Thank you for your interest in the Inclusion Catalyst podcast. With your help we will continue to publish high-quality podcasts for people interested in Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice topics.

But we want to be clear: Inclusion Catalyst is not looking for guests. We have changed our production focus and we ARE looking for people to GUEST HOST their own episodes.

There are many ways we can work together to present your content. Our intent is to simply open the door for our peers across the sector to have some fun bringing their stories and expertise to a wider audience without having to invent an entire podcast from scratch.

This means you can craft your own material and publish it as your own Inclusion Catalyst episode.

Together, we’ll share an established audience. Inclusion Catalyst listeners remain engaged, and crave more content. You’ll have an opportunity to make real, personal connections with your listeners while you establish yourself as a thought leader in the diversity, inclusion, and social justice arena.

If you’re an inclusivity consultant, Diversity & Inclusion professional, or a social justice advocate… If equity and accessibility are important to you… If you work in academia as a behavioral scientist or environmental scientist, we welcome you to join us as a Guest Host. We will help you wrangle one or more Inclusion Catalyst episodes.

Creativity is the name of the game, and we welcome you to innovate. Got a guest you’ve always wanted to interview? Or maybe you have an associate who can interview you? Maybe you’d prefer to deliver a monologue similar to a Ted talk? We have spoken to one team of four consultants who are going to interview each other over coffee. Yet another team in Europe might bring a multi-episode profile of their programming. We are happy to help them spread awareness of their efforts.

The possibilities are endless. Please follow the links on this page to learn more about the Guest Hosting process and how to contact Inclusion Catalyst. Again, thank you for your interest. We hope to hear from you soon.

After the racial justice reckoning we have experienced particularly in the last year at a national level, the new buzz word is ‘allyship’ or being an ‘ally.’ In this episode, we discuss what it really means and how to be radical in rethinking allyship. We explore going beyond performative allyship, and ask questions like, - What happens when folks get tired of doing the work? - How do we actually undo the harm and build authentic connection? Our fantastic guests include:

This episode is an address from former GM (GSK, Allergan) and Leadership Author Omar L. Harris, who shares his inspiring Graduation Keynote: “From Servant Leadership to J.E.D.I. Leadership” (social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) in May 2021 at the Leadership Harrisburg Area (LHA) Galactic Graduation Event at FNB Field in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Harris’ D.E.I. address is based on his new book, “Be a J.E.D.I. Leader, Not a Boss” (June 25, 2021) and 20+ years of leadership experience managing enterprise teams for global pharmaceutical companies on 4 continents. Harris highlights the importance of Servant Leadership, J.E.D.I. Leadership and how inclusion offers a sense of belonging.
