That's Not How That Works

In this episode, Weeze and Trudi explore how to screen your coaches for their stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion in their work. If diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism is something you're taking on in your life, you should be making sure that the folks you hire to support you are also on this journey.

Our first LIVE episode, y'all! On this episode, we process a FB live that Weeze and Trudi were tagged into online to provide insight and feedback. What we found was a hot mess of performative allyship, racism, and recklessness. In this LIVE episode we process the core parts of the video, how the two co-hosts of the original video were NOT providing a safe space for their community.

Happy New Year Everyone! In this episode, Trudi & Weeze dive into the topic of White Centering. We explore mainstream and marginalized identities, give examples of how much of the world we live in is basically a world that centers whiteness.

In this episode Weeze recounts the story of what happened when she met W. Kamau Bell in The Bay recently. Now, if you're a fan of the show, you know that this is HUGE. We've talked about wanting to "manifest" him... and although our ultimate dream is for him to come on our show, we'll settle for bumping into him on the street (for now anyway :) We also share our manifestation list with you in case you happen to be one of our well connected listeners. We love and appreciate you! Here's the link to the Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1077973785700853/about/

In this episode Trudi & Weeze share the story about what happened on Trudi's recent trip to Oakland. Let me give you a hint... #racistbrunch!

In this episode Weeze & Trudi answer questions from the TNHTW's Facebook Groups including How can I be more confident when discussing equity and diversity issues? Are the roles of Ally and Accomplice only for White folks or can PoC be Accomplices? How can I have more diversity in my coaching practice? Let us know what you think AND keep your questions coming.

In this episode, Weeze and Trudi discuss their confusion and frustration with the call out culture by white folks at other white folks (can someone explain it to us?). It all looks like a competition to be the "woke-est"... hence, The Woke Olympics. Weeze and Trudi also pose an alternative approach that we think would be more effective in moving folks toward being an accomplice.

In this episode, Weeze and Trudi get SUPER REAL about decisions regarding how they felt about a statement made during episode 30. It is a PERFECT example of how this work (Diversity, Equity, Anti-Racism, Liberation Work) requires that we be humble, open, transparent and willing to make mistakes. We also believe that this shows our commitment to our listeners. We want you to know that we aren't perfect and that we want to hold ourselves accountable and that Wokeness isn't a fixed state of being, rather a process, an action, and a commitment that we take very seriously.

In this episode Weeze and Trudi talk with Joey Chandler who admits to being the epitome of privilege... he's a White, Straight, Cis, Male that came to the realization that men have a role in dismantling white supremacy. We talk to him about his own journey, his mistakes, and where he his today so that we can learn how to bring more men into this process. We also take a moment to celebrate the AMAZING mid-term election results and recognize so many "firsts" in office. Join the community online: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1077973785700853
