In this conversation on race I’m joined by Diversity pioneers and original thought leaders Lee Mun Wah and Howard Ross to talk about the current state of diversity, racism and white supremacy in the US today   Howard is known for his cutting edge work on implicit bias and Mun Wah made the ground breaking film on race, Color of Fear.   Key Topics: Origins and current state of the Trump executive order banning diversity and inclusion training in the government and companies that do business with the government. Threats against Howard Ross and his family for his work in diversity, equity and inclusion. The content of the letter suspending Mun Wah’s training with the government calling diversity and inclusion unpatriotic, propaganda and unamerican. Why diversity, equity, inclusion and conversations on race are more important now than ever in the current culture of the US and across the globe. How Black people and others protesting in the name of social justice are being shot, threatened and attacked. Overcoming resistance and fear of diversity, conversations on race and social justice. Whose lives matter? Do white lives matter more than Black lives? Do heterosexual lives matter more than LGBTQ lives The fact that the media doesn’t mention the large numbers of Native American women who have disappeared, the lack of funds to help Native American communities and the high Covid death rate in that community. How issues of racism against LatinX, Asian and other people of color are often neglected, trivialized and ignored. Intercultural Health care disparities that result in higher death rates for Black women during childbirth than white women. Howard and Mun Wah share experiences engaging in dialogues with white supremacists.   Guests Bio: Lee Mun Wah, M.A. Special Education, M.S.

What is a 'safe space' and who gets to decide whether or not it's safe? How is systemic racism perpetuated by trauma and also the cause of trauma - not only for Black people but also white people? In this series on social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts in multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism.

Bianca shares her personal and professional journey from working at a well-known advertising agency to leaving corporate America and co-founding a Diversity and Inclusion consultancy. She discusses terms such as 'safe space' and 'unconscious bias' and how they can be fraught (and cause more racial trauma) for Black people when not applied in a trauma-sensitive way. Bianca talked about the inter-generational trauma that white people have experienced (the "dirty pain" of white trauma), which has both led to and perpetuated systemic racism, and the need to truly heal the trauma from systemic racism for both Black and white people in order to end systemic racism. Bianca Wilson (she/ her/ hers) supports individuals and organizations to get to the core of what is needed so effective communication, impactful leadership and authentic relationships can thrive.
