Let's talk about softness, and being soft in a world that can be so hard. What does it mean to be soft? I invited Dr. Akilah Cadet to share in this conversation about softness as a human. Together we explore the beauty of connecting with softness, within ourselves and in our relationships. We identify how softness can get squashed and the benefits of connecting with the parts of us that are soft. We unpack the complexity of being a human in a hard world, the dance between anger and softness, harmony over balance, and Dr. Cadet offers a bridge into accessing our agency and power when faced with hardship within ourselves and the oppressive systems around us.

Ask Dr. Akilah Cadet how to be a better ally, and she'll first tell you this: Allyship is a waste of time, because allyship allows for comfort.  Instead, the Founder and CEO of Change Cadet, an organizational development consulting firm offering a wide array of anti-racism and diversity services for companies and global brands, calls on each of us to join the lifelong work of being an ACCOMPLICE to change.  This week, Phoebe sits down for a powerful discussion with Dr. Cadet on the slippery nature of allyship and how all of us can become soldiers of change in the workforce (and beyond) through a consistent process of learning and unlearning the biases and privileges that shape us. Tune in to learn how Dr. Cadet drew on her many experiences of judgment, “isms,” and barriers in the workplace when evolving Change Cadet, how she finds room for causeless, selfish joy, and why she believes Beyoncé is the gold standard for leadership. Noteworthy quotes: [30:05] Allyship is a waste of time. Allyship allows for comfort. [31:47] Being an accomplice is not a point of arrival. It's lifelong, and it's always happening.  [36:40] I don't limit myself. I allow myself to go where I'm inspired, where I feel like there's opportunity to create.  SHOW NOTES YouTube APPLY TO A GGC SPRING CRAFT FAIR  Flodesk Support Our Comunity Member: Stephanie Seymour of Elevate Your Career

We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission.In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Dr. Akilah Cadet, Founder & CEO of Change Cadet. Dr. Cadet has 15+ years in management and building successful projects, teams, and leaders in the public and private sectors. Tune in to learn Dr. Akilah's thoughts on patterns over time, key ingredients for organizational change, holding leaders accountable, and more!About AllVoicesIn today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

Sami talks about forming a healthy relationship with her body and food and her ultimate decision to no longer co-host her podcast Diet Starts Tomorrow.Key Takeaway / Points: Sami's discoveries about her fertility and the decision to freeze her eggsExperience going off birth control and thoughts around having children Sami's journey with PCOS Privileges required to access preventative healthcare, especially when it comes to fertilityForming a healthy relationship with her body and food and the decision to no longer co-host DSTFollow Sami Sage:Instagram: @samiTikTok: @samisagesaysPodcasts: Morning Announcements, Betches Sup, Diet Starts TomorrowFollow me:Instagram: @freckledfoodieWebsite: freckledfoodie.comTikTok: freckledfoodieTwitter: @freckledfoodieYoutube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled FoodiePinterest: Freckled FoodiePast FF & Friends Episodes that focus on the conversation of race in America:Jerome Nathaniel on the racial disparity of COVID-19Nora Maxwell on How to be a Better AllyDanielle Prescod Cofounder of 2BG Dr. Akilah Cadet, Founder and Executive Coach of Change CadetJocelynne Rainey, CEO of Getting Out and Staying Out This episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dr. Akilah Cadet is the Founder and CEO of Change Cadet consulting firm, which offers a broad array of anti-racism and diversity services including strategic planning, crisis rebuilding, advising, executive coaching, and facilitation. Cadet (her last name) is a French term that means soldier. As it's often an uphill battle for BIPOC, women, and historically excluded communities to achieve success and equity in the workplace, Change Cadet prepares soldiers of change to overcome these continuous battles so individuals and companies can thrive. Akilah has 15+ years of experience working in various organizations, with both private and public sector companies. She literally has all the degrees (Bachelor of Science in Health Education in Community Based Public Health, a Master of Public Health, and a Doctorate of Health Sciences in Leadership and Organizational Behavior), lives in Oakland, CA, has a rare heart condition, and is a proud Beyoncé advocate…and has just been diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). And on top of all that, she's the host of the Change Cadet Podcast! Tune in as Dr. Cadet shares: how her early symptoms first manifested the truth about accurate diagnosis: “in order to be diagnosed, you have to be misdiagnosed” how she was diagnosed with coronary artery spasms, or Prinzmetal's angina; as well as inappropriate sinus tachycardia, pre-atrial contractions (irregular heartbeat), and orthostatic hypertension how she faced her own mortality during the process of being diagnosed what her long-term care looks like with regard to heart health: ER visits and the risk of heart attack the criteria she holds her care providers to why she is still waiting for genetic testing to determine her hEDS type how she manages her symptoms day-to-day — and how so much of that management involves clear communication what true energy management looks like for her why the “ER is nothing but trauma for [her]” — and why healthcare in America is such a mess a conversation about the concepts of intersectionality and inspiration in chronic illness and disability identities her advice for Spoonies and their loved ones

We're rolling onto the next in our limited series. Michelle MiJung Kim joins Dr. Akilah Cadet, in a conversation between two equity and inclusion entrepreneurs! After the murder of George Floyd, they found themselves in a similar position. Overworked, swamped with clients, and many were looking to them for guidance. A space existed where many knew something should be done, but not what to do. Michelle talks about aligning your actions with your values (and also in her new book The Wake Up), centering marginalized experiences, and creating a culture of care. Michelle MiJung Kim (she/her) is a queer immigrant Korean American woman writer, speaker, activist, and entrepreneur who lives in Oakland. She is CEO and co-founder of Awaken, a leading provider of interactive equity and inclusion education programs facilitated by majority BIPOC educators, where she has consulted hundreds of organizations and top executives from Fortune 500, tech giants, nonprofits, and government agencies to spark meaningful change. Michelle has been a lifelong social justice activist and has served on a variety of organizations.

And just like that, we're back with a bang for a limited series! We're joined by Ashley Feinstein Gerstley, who you know as @thefiscalfemme, a feminist who is on a mission to end inequality through financial well-being. America's lines of economic inequality have only grown in past years. Spiraling income inequality, wage gaps, and rising financial costs make it hard to plan for the future, especially as their effects mainly impact those who are systemically oppressed. Tune in to hear how to take some of the power back, the intersection between finance and race, and of course the importance of rest through it all! Financial Adulting by Ashley Feinstein Gerstley and sensitivity edited by Dr. Akilah Cadet, comes out February 23, 2022. Ashley has been featured by Forbes, NBC, the New York Times, and many others. Happy listening! Instagram: @thefiscalfemme

What is an accomplice in the workplace? And why should you aim to become one? In today's episode, Dr. Akilah Cadet walks listeners through the process of becoming an accomplice in the workplace. Dr. Cadet dismantles white supremacy daily as the Founder and CEO of Change Cadet consulting firm which offers a broad array of anti-racism and diversity services including strategic planning, crisis rebuilding, advising, executive coaching, and facilitation.

Throughout the past year, many organizations have taken long-overdue looks in the mirror and started the hard but necessary work of examining how they perpetuate systemic injustice. (That includes us.) The Ready works in systems design, which means that in a world wracked—and in some ways defined—by inequity, it's our job to look at how the systems we build contribute to supremacist thinking and behavior. In this episode, we learn (and unlearn) from Dr. Akilah Cadet, an executive coach and the founder and CEO of Change Cadet, about the overlap between dominant systems and white supremacy, what being an antiracist company actually means, and how to still hold space for lightness and humor.

It's been a year since the murder of American George Floyd, a crime that galvanised widespread protests and political organising in the US. The world took notice and conversations, protests and other actions against racism spread internationally. Twelve months later, we meet Dr Akilah Cadet, founder of Change Cadet, a US-based change management and organizational development consulting firm supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace. We take a moment to look back, measure the progress and ask what the next steps could be. What would true diversity mean for Fine Wine?

Since the events of January 6th 2021, we've learned more about what happened and more details of the nature of the threat. In this episode we break down some of the stories that might have fallen through the cracks or got very little attention by the mainstream press. There are allegations of fore-knowledge by some of the rioters, accounts that members of congress or their staff gave tours to some of the rioters that came back the next day. We are learning how close certain members of congress came to being captured. Also,the scope of police and military involvement in the attack. How these attackers communicated with each other through certain apps and the free speech implications of this technology. There were thousands of people that showed up for the protest and many of them got caught up in the moment of storming the capital and for that they should suffer the necessary consequences. However, there was a concerted effort by some to enter the Capitol with plans, schematics, and a mission to cause real lethal harm. These people need to be hunted down and brought to the appropriate justice. Lastly, we talk about where we go from here and how we get back to both sides working with the truth to move our country forward. We also say the names of our fallen this week Stephon Clark and Casey Goodson Jr. And we highlight two organizations doing great work in the collective justice community, Pledge My Check and Showing Up For Racial Justice. We can't stress enough the need to de-stress your life, space, and mind, while fighting for justice and equality. Please take care of yourself and each other. Like. Follow. Share. Subscribe.

We are less than 2 months away from the inauguration of the next President. Though, we can't wait until they're in office to do our work. Our work begins now. Our job moving forward is to make sure we are educating ourselves on these politicians, what they have stood for and against in the past, to ensure we raise our voices to hold them accountable now and going forward. The fight is not over. It has only just begun. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have troubling and concerning records when it comes to the issues most important to us. We must get involved in organizations that are mobilizing a proper response and putting the necessary pressure where it can be applied to let this next administration know: we are watching you and we will speak up when you make moves that harm the people. We also discuss how local elected officials were affected by organized movements and how thoughtful strategy can be applied to affect the change we want to see. We say the names of our fallen this week, Quawan Charles and Michiah Lee. And we highlight two people doing great work in our space, Oklahoma State Legislator Mauree Turner and Dr. Akilah Cadet, doing work with companies on anti-racism, diversity, inclusion, and equity. We want you to stay safe in these crazy times. Covid is out of control. Please do not travel if you don't have to. Let's make the sacrifice for each other this holiday season and stay home.

Guests: Dr. Akilah Cadet - Founder and CEO of Change Cadet, a DEI consulting and coaching firm. Erica Lovett - Head of Diversity and Inclusion at Condé Nast. During the recent racial reckoning that has overtaken the US since the murders of George Floyd it has become very common to see brands hoping to become part of the conversation. From black squares to messages of supporting Black Lives Matter, the corporate reflex to provide public-facing solidarity is often undermined by the very real, and very documented, internal struggles within the organization. The struggle of being Black in corporate America is not new, but the willingness to come forward with accounts of racist behavior and the receipts to back it up is, and many companies are dealing with unprecedented upheaval and deeply tarnished brands. How do you create space in these organizations to hear and support BIPOC employees while also being held accountable for racist policies and leadership that has genuinely harmed people? How do you show solidarity as a company with a racial justice movement when it seems like any misstep could result in “cancellation”? We invited two amazing women whose job it is to help organizations navigate this terrain. Erica Lovett does it from within as the always excellent but suddenly in-demand head of Diversity and Inclusion at Condé Nast. Her work in this amazingly visible company whose struggles in this period have been well publicized, is crucial to the rebuilding of its brand. Dr. Akilah Cadet has been running her own consulting and coaching firm for years to help leaders and organizations build anti-racist organizations with leadership and employees, and has seen interest in her company skyrocket since late May. Her valuable perspective as an outsider asked to show up for companies who may or may not be willing to do the hard work is a perfect complement, and the conversation we had was very real and very insightful for companies and employees who want a better, more equitable, anti-racist place to work.

Dr. Akilah Cadet is the Founder and CEO of Change Cadet consulting firm, which offers a broad array of anti-racism and diversity services including strategic planning, crisis rebuilding, advising, executive coaching and facilitation. Cadet (her last name) is a French term that means soldier. As it's often an uphill battle for BIPOC, women, and underrepresented communities to achieve success and equity in the workplace, Change Cadet prepares soldiers of change to overcome these continuous battles so individuals and companies can thrive. Akilah has 15+ years of experience working in various organizations, with both private and public sector companies. She literally has all the degrees, lives in Oakland, CA, has a rare heart condition, and is a proud Beyoncé advocate.

And I learned that Dr. Akilah Cadet https://instagram.com/changecadet?igshid=1pmwrtyy6danv pronounces her name “Kah-day” the French way (which is a good way to remember it rhymes wirh way.

I am indeed a white woman who learned lots of ugly stuff about white women (very significant role as slave owners) and the legacy of power and privilege that leads straight to Amy Cooper and how a bit more powerlessness could serve us well and not in the way you might think. And so much about how I and we can be better. I probably talked about some other stuff I learned from other rad black women this week who I've mentioned in previous episodes and I got amplified. I am just getting started. Please listen to The Change Cadet podcast yourself very intently and so openly and join me on this journey to “Wake Up, Grow Up, and Show Up.” Those are Adrienne Kimball's powerful, crystal clear, and memorable words.

Welcome to a new Yay where I use this platform of my voice as a way to elevate and wake up and say Yay to recognize, reshape, and reframe conversations about race as a Yayful Strategist and Storyteller. Where listening deeply and hard (very hard) to women like @_dyanedwards who teaches Mindset Mastery For Allies https://dyanedwards1.podia.com/mindset-mastery-for-check-your-priviledge and @janayathefuture who I apologize for using both they and she/her when describing Janaya. Known as future within the BLM movement, khan is a Black, queer, gender-nonconforming activist, staunch Afrofuturist, boxer, and social-justice educator. @changecadet is Dr. Akilah Cadet https://www.changecadet.com who I learned from at an online event with @ladiesgetpaid and @tressicphd is Tressie McMillan Cottom who is an author professor and sociologist https://tressiemc.com Thick and other essays @ckyourprivilege is Guiding folx on their journey to dismantle their relationship with power, privilege & racism. @ijeomaoluo is the author of So You Want to Talk About Race. Their voices matter in the most pressing way on this very day and every day that follows means following new black voices to dismantle systemic racism and create a new project of humanness, humankind, and a #prohuman race for the human race to survive, thrive and move higher. Much higher. Please join me. Welcome in. Welcome up.
