Now, as a DEI training specialist with the Minnesota Child Welfare Training Academy, Shea joins us to share his compelling narrative and the tangible impact of DEI efforts within communities and the workplace. We kick off with a heartfelt recollection of our encounter at the Duluth Thrives Summit, tracing Shea's journey from a Racial Ethnic Student Aid at Michigan State University to combating employment barriers for marginalized groups.Navigating the labyrinth of our own identities and biases requires a mirror that reflects our true selves. In our discussion centered on the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), Shea and I invite listeners to embrace the feedback from this eye-opening assessment, not as a judgment, but as a catalyst for personal growth. We unpack the nuances of identity and the conscious effort needed to mitigate unconscious biases. By acknowledging the shades of gray in our understanding and taking intentional strides towards inclusivity, we underscore how self-awareness can pave the way for a more cohesive society.Finally, we take you on a cultural odyssey, celebrating the unique stories that weave the fabric of our identities. I share my own experiences of relocating from New Jersey to Georgia, a move that coincided with the state's cultural self-examination. We dissect the subtleties of Southern hospitality and dig into the strategies that can create a true sense of belonging in educational environments. From the profound impact of correctly pronouncing a student's name to the significance of recognizing their individual stories, Shea and I reveal how these acts of acknowledgment can foster an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels valued.

We started off 2021 interviewing Deidra Riggs, and that's how we're ending the year, too! On January 6th, 2021 we launched our first podcast of the year, interviewing Deidra about how 2021 would be “The Year of Dismantling: Eliminating Systems that Marginalize and Oppress.” She is back this week to share what she has been working on and learning this year.Full disclosure, I had originally asked Deidra to come on and talk about how we can have “an anti-racist holiday,” but our conversation morphed into SO.MUCH.MORE than that. Deidra shared about the power of anchoring yourself in your own story and culture, how to hold space for hopelessness, and how hopelessness is the real thing that pushes us towards change, and rooting our anti-racism work in love rather than shame.I learn so much every time I talk to Deidra, and I'm so excited to share this conversation with you! Be sure to listen all the way to the end to hear her talk about a BOOK SLAM she is doing on December 6th. It's $15 to participate and we at the Lady Preacher Podcast are sponsoring FIVE people to participate. All you have to do is reach out (send us an email or DM) and we'll pay the fee on your behalf.
