Building Relationships At Work with The Healing Race

In this episode, Felicia talks with Andre Thomas and Todd Levinson, Hosts of Healing Race, a show that started with two long-time friends who decided to have the real conversation about race during the pandemic.

In the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, Andre and Todd were able to come together during the pandemic and have trill conversations about their experiences. They decided to share how they were able to be vulnerable enough to have honest, constructive conversations about race and to break down stereotypes and humanize one another in the process.

In this conversation, we hope that you gain some insight and courage to have constructive conversations in the work place to help you build better work place relationships.
