Welcome back to Midwest Misfits. We have an episode today discussing black and white women and how to improve our relationships in work, in friendship, and in everyday life. Most people do not readily have these vulnerable talks or know how to navigate them. We don't either, but we just keep working at it. And we are diving into them headfirst and have them on here, so that you get the conversation too. We want our fellow white women to hear these messages if they do not have someone to have them with in their own life... And if you look at your pictures from work, friendships, and outings of the past and they are mostly- if not all white women in your circle. Step one is to listen to our past episodes on white privilege, unraveling racism, colorism, microaggressions, and workplace racism so that you do not jump into befriending women of color without an understanding of the history to be the best kind of human in that relationship... BUT then the next crucial step is to seek out women of color in friendship, community, work, and life. We all need each other. And this next conversation dives into how we can uplift each other and rise together.  We are joined by one of our bright spots of 2020 which is new friendship with Shawntal-(tell) Mallory who has been a contributor and guest on several episodes. She is a Juris Doctorate and serves as the Chief Professional Development Officer & General Council for Omaha Home for Boys. She has been practicing law for the last 14 years, advocating for youth and families of color in adoption, juvenile, and family law. She serves on the board for inclusive communities and is a LeadDIVERSITY Advocate. Shawn-tell is currently earning her certification in Leading Equity & Inclusion in Organizations from Northwestern University. But her favorite role is mom to two creative black sons, Darrick and Damari.  Also today we have two new beautiful humans joining us: Candi Jones and Jay Warren- Teamer who will be sharing their backgrounds and passions with us through their own words.  Candi Jones is a  Certified Career Coach, Life Coach, HR Consultant and motivational speaker inspiring people to think beyond their perceived limitations, move past their limited beliefs and move towards their dreams and passions! Jay Warren-Teamer Director, Diversity and Inclusion at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska and has more than 10 years of experience in community outreach.

This week I am honoured and excited to bring you this truly fascinating, motivational and energy-packed episode with the inspiring, open and honest Rudy Reyes. As an orphan from South Texas, Rudy was raised in Kansas City and the Omaha Home for Boys. He practised discipline in Martial Arts and Illustration to overcome poverty and later raise His little Brothers. That refining of character and motivation to fight for others who needed protection led Rudy into the Marine Corps in the 90s, and after going through an arduous selection process to join the Elite of the Elite, Rudy became a Reconnaissance Marine which is only achieved by 300 out of 300,000 US Marines. Fighting in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, Rudy was discharged with Honors after his 2nd Enlistment and became a fitness coach. He then tactically advised and starred as himself in the Emmy award-winning HBO Mini-Series, “Generation Kill”. This led to him working in film and TV to highlight Veteran Issues and Warrior Transition back into civilisation. In 2015 Rudy Reyes Created Force Blue, A Veteran Non-Profit Utilizing Special Operations Veterans to rebuild Coral Reefs and do Ocean Conservation with a mission to Rebuild and Protect Our Oceans and Veterans of all Services. This show is a rollercoaster that takes us all over the world, and in and out of the darker recesses of Rudy’s life experiences and back into the light in which he finds himself blessed with an incredible life that he shares with his fiance, having moved to Idaho recently. The conversation is highly entertaining, informative, inspirational, motivational and spiritual. I loved every minute of it. I hope you do too.

This week we are back talking about systemic racism and how to be deliberate in breaking down racism in the workplace. To remove disparities and racism, we must look at every system and dismantle all the ways it has contributed to the ongoing racism and disparities. Hiring, firing, work culture, punitive action, and all the ways we judge candidates based on their name, address, attire, hair wearing, ethnic markings, their accent, style of talking, the entire rundown of impressions that ANYONE who interviews and hire MUST constantly work to not judge based on implicit bias. Awareness is required. Employment has been a major way oppression and under-representation has flourished. Bring self awareness and figure out how you may have contributed and how you can be better. Growth. We all have work to do. We have a conversation with Shawntal Mallory, Chief Professional Development Officer & General Counsel at Omaha Home for Boys and Marti Carrington, Operations Coordinator at Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation. In this episode we talk about all the ways hiring practices deter applicants and make it harder for minorities and people of color to apply. Join us for this important conversation.
