On this Special Episode of the Today's Your Day Podcast, Tedi welcomes his special guest, Leah Smiley, the President & Founder at the Institute for Diversity Certification (IDC) located in Brownsburg, Indiana.  Tedi and Leah have a frank and open discussion about Racism, what it is, how it is harming marginalized communities and what role we can play in dismantling the systems of Racism.  Leah shares with us her definition of Racism (it may surprise some of you) and Tedi provides Leah with a lot of data.  Tedi's favorite quote of the podcast was when Leah said "We have to do better, be better and aim higher."  This is one very important conversation that impacts us ALL and one you do not want to miss!  You can connect with Leah at:
