What are common mistakes that educators make when trying to address systemic racism and oppression? How do we better address education systems so that they support the success of people of all identities? In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Nadia Bennett, founder of an education consulting firm that leads the way for schools to become anti-racist learning environments through culturally-relevant leadership development and mentorship. They discussed the common mistakes made in the education space in the name of anti-racism, and the importance of making people feel safe in order to do the deeper work of anti-racism. As a proud Black female entrepreneur, Nadia Bennett currently leads her team at When Brown Girls Lead™ to make sure all students are receiving the equitable education they deserve. Her passion for championing change was strengthened during her time at Dillard and Howard Universities, where she received her Bachelor's degree and Master's in Education Administration and Policy. In addition to supporting anti-racist environments in education through her current work, she is also pursuing her doctorate degree. When she is not helping make impactful change across the country, Nadia keeps her mind primed by enjoying time with friends, reading and traveling internationally. She has also been known to binge watch a show or two.

Work Wider co-founder Michele Lanza and Glenn E. Singleton, founder of Courageous Conversations, join the podcast for a conversation about how companies must change to make diverse teams a reality. We discuss why companies cannot recruit their way out of the diversity challenge; how performative DEI statements must be replaced if organizations want to connect and reflect a world that is already diverse; and why companies must eschew the notion of “cultural fit” and focus on a journey of cultural evolution.

For elementary teachers approaching the topic of slavery, it can be tempting to focus only on heroes and avoid explaining oppression. But teachers’ omissions speak as loudly as what they choose to include. And what children learn in the early grades has broad consequences for the rest of their education. Dr. Kate Shuster guides us through the new Teaching Hard History K–5 framework from Teaching Tolerance. We also learn how four elementary teachers are beginning to use it in their classrooms.

Four prominent African American leaders, two men and two women from 3 different generations, share their stories of growing up black in America.   What attitudes, mindsets, and efforts were required to be effective and successful in this country as a person of color?  Though I, a white male, have invested in relationships with people of color, this conversation opened new windows of understanding into the experience of my black brothers and sisters… Code switching Navigating two worlds “The talk” about police Working 10 times harder to get half as far   We closed with a dialogue on how to have effective conversations on race.  Here are some tools and resources mentioned on the podcast to equip you: https://courageousconversation.com/about/ Glenn Singleton’s four agreements for courageous conversations about race: Stay engaged:  Staying engaged means “remaining morally, emotionally, intellectually, and socially involved in the dialogue” (p.59) Experience discomfort:  This norm acknowledges that discomfort is inevitable, especially, in dialogue about race, and that participants make a commitment to bring issues into the open.  It is not talking about these issues that create divisiveness.  The divisiveness already exists in the society and in our schools.  It is through dialogue, even when uncomfortable, the healing and change begin. Speak your truth:  This means being open about thoughts and feelings and not just saying what you think others want to hear. Expect and accept nonclosure:  This agreement asks participants to “hang out in uncertainty” and not rush to quick solutions, especially in relation to racial understanding, which requires ongoing dialogue (pp.58-65).   Adapted from Glenn E. Singleton & Curtis Linton, Courageous about Race:  A Field Guide for Achieving Equity in Schools. 2006. pp.58-65.
