Podcasts about white allies

In these dark times of (American) political backsliding/the general rise of fascism in the Global North, Ariel and Christina consider four things that we'd made great progress on, to the point of taking those achievements for granted. Let's take the time to acknowledge them and the danger we are in of losing them. Because how can we fight for what we don't recognize as being incredible yet fragile?

White people often make sense of their racial identity by thinking of themselves as an oppressor or savior. But these flawed core beliefs don't translate into much.To gain a better view of yourself and other white people, you need a healthier way to make sense of white identity.This episode has been pulled from the archives and given a fresh twist.Related episodes Dissecting Robin DiAngelo's (Other) Book on Apple or SpotifyUnpacking Robin DiAngelo's Most Problematic Teaching (PT 2) on Apple or SpotifyMentioned:Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?

When I hear something that's obviously racist, it's always a joke. They get to the punchline. I don't laugh— I never do. That usually bursts the bubble. And I'll tell you why I think it's so important to burst the bubble: When a racist joke doesn't get a laugh, everyone wakes up to the fact that racism with a great punchline is still just racism.Listen in and let's unpack this.Related episodes:White Allies, Don't Leave the Antiracism Work to People of Color on Apple & SpotifyMost White People Are Only Friends With White People on Apple and SpotifyTo support Marie and get exclusive resources, head to patreon.com/mariebeech.

I am so thrilled to welcome back to the podcast, the one and only Dorena Williamson! Dorena is a woman of deep faith, with a passion for building the kingdom of God and living a legacy of faith as a minister, a mama, a pastor's wife, and a woman of impactful and instructive words. She is the author of 8 children's books that all provide beautiful insight into the heart of God and scripture's call to live in diversity and humility as we learn and grow together in the world. Whether that diversity is found in differing racial or ethnic communities and cultures, to others living with visible or invisible disabilities, or on the margins socioeconomically. She encourages children and the big people who love them, in every story that she writes to celebrate how God made them, and to delight in His world that He made and all those made in His image. Her most recent book is called I Know Who I Am. It is a book of scriptural affirmations for kids. It is designed to serve as a companion to come alongside families and those that love kids with words that contain truth about them, about the Lord, and to see all of God's image bearers represented in the pages from around the world! It gives beautiful verbiage for children to repeat over themselves and to speak over other children of all ages they encounter as they walk through the hills and valleys and changes of life. My kids absolutely loved it, and it would be a perfect addition to a morning or evening routine for kiddos that are starting back to school! In this conversation, Dorena also shares her heart so beautifully about where God has her in her lament as a leader in her church, a Mama raising Black kids, and the world around her. She invites us to consider how all Believers can lean in to the reality of what is before communities and their daily fears and concerns and how to bear one another's burdens together at the feet of Jesus. She offers an invitation to lean in to humility and honor towards others as we experience beauty, hope, tragedy, and all that is found on Earth this side of Heaven together. None of us are perfect, we will make mistakes, but God honors our learning, our choices to lean in and have Him show us His heart for us and for others. He has so much to show us. Always remember, you matter, and your story matters. Just as an FYI, we recorded this episode right in the midst of our communities' grief over the Covenant shooting in the Spring. We mention it briefly in the beginning of the episode, but we spend a little more time (around 5-7 minutes) discussing its impact on our community around 40 minutes in. If that is a tender place for you, I just want to be sensitive to that and give you that heads up. We fairly quickly transition to Dorena sharing about how to be the body of Christ in the midst of seasons of communal lament. It's a powerful word, not solely about that tragedy, but about how to lock arms and shields of faith with others as humans made in God's image walking this weary land together until we all go home.

Racism is not an ideology invented by people of African descent—people of European descent who are considered white hold that dubious distinction. So what is the role of white people in fighting racism?  In part four of the Fighting Racism series, I talk with Shelley and David Park. They are the transracial adoptive parents of a son who is Black. They also composed a curriculum called “Let's Talk Race: A Beginners Guide to Conversations about Race.” In this 5-week course they talk to other white people about race.  Delve into the definition of an ally and how white people can act in solidarity with Black people and other people of color.  LINKS Let's Talk Race - Shelley and David Park Subscribe to JemarTisby.Substack.com so you'll never miss a new episode.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Kendra Lee about shared culture and white allies. They discuss the importance of allyship and who tells the stories of marginalised communities. Does the choice of different races providing allyship training the right thing or is it just appeasing the majority group. How much 'uncomfortableness' is necessary for the training to be effective. Kendra asks how much emotional labour should marginalised communities carry whilst educating others. This is a tricky conversation which attempts to share and build awareness whilst balancing the different concerns and needs of all.  They discuss how to set up an Allyship Programme and Judith talks about the risk to Social Capital that white allies face. To be an ally is an act of courage. Kendra Lee is the Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the Philadelphia Inquirer. -------- Maverick leadership is all about thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo. It's about having the courage to take risks and the confidence to lead in a way that is authentic and genuine. But amplifying your influence as a leader isn't just about having a strong vision or a big personality. It's also about having the right leadership capability and being able to execute on your ideas and plans. The consequences of not having the right level of influence as a leader can be significant.

Today's conversation is with Elizabeth Cronlund from the 2021 CCDA Conference.

For every call-to-action encouraging white people to build relationships with people of color, there should be a lesson on how to do this well. Because increased contact doesn't guarantee increased fellowship. I wanted to break up some of the lesson-type episodes with a personal story. In this episode, we're breaking down an experience I had when a white woman came up to me and said some kind words that actually carried a tough message. We've all been there, where good intentions don't play out quite right. So we all have something to learn from this.

Sexism, racism, fighting for racial justice as a White Ally. Dr. Margie Crowe, also mom to an Autistic child, has been there and done that. She talks candidly about her career in the military and her current career training and consulting with a varied group of clients. Here's my new 33-minute podcast interview with Dr. Crowe, retired Lt. Col in the U.S. Air Force, author, consultant, and diversity trainer.

After episode 14, we received quite a bit of feedback, most of it positive, but some of it was critical. The main complaint we got was that we should not have addressed Critical Race Theory without a Black person on the panel. In this episode, Jamie Corbin and April discuss how they responded to the feedback and ways to move forward in this anti-racism work when it feels like there are so many ways to get it wrong. This is a pretty raw, behind the scenes look as two friends who are committed to anti-racism work through criticism, discuss how to pause and process, and share ways they strive to maintain curiosity and humility.

She comes from the corporate world where she was Regulatory Compliance AVP for Santander Bank, Barclaycard, and the Financial Ombudsman Service. Ashanti co-created the UK's first nation-wide anti-racism and allyship project for women in Human Resources (HR), an industry that is 83% female and white. She is also a co-founder of 100 White Allies, Diversity Ally, and Black In Events, which are consultancies that provide support for organizations to be proactively anti-racist and inclusive. In this episode, we cover three main topics. They are diversity and inclusion, starting and running your own business, and online events. You will learn a lot from our fascinating conversation with Ashanti today. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Ashanti Bentil-Dhue's bio: Ashanti Bentil-Dhue is Founder and CEO at EventMind, a market leader in the virtual meetings and events sector. EventMind provides training, consultancy, and delivery for businesses looking to engage virtually with their audience and community. Ashanti is currently a judge on several awards panels, including the Eventex Awards, Independent Publisher Awards, and the Virtual Event Institute Awards. She is also a co-founder of 100 White Allies, Diversity Ally, and Black In Events, consultancies that provide support to organizations who want to be proactively anti-racist and inclusive, both internally and for their service users. You can connect with her on Linkedin.  Ashanti can bring the experience she gained from five years spent as a Regulatory Compliance AVP for the likes of Santander Bank, Barclaycard, and the Financial Ombudsman Service. This experience has given Ashanti an understanding of corporate governance and challenges associated with change management and workplace culture shifts. Diversity initiatives It was during her time in the world of compliance that Ashanti began to work on diversity initiatives, and she also started to use events as a vehicle to communicate the importance of being as diverse and inclusive as possible.  Arranging events When she was working for a bank, Ashanti did not see herself as an event planner. She saw herself as the compliance consultant who also arranged events. Building communities When she decided to start her own business, Ashanti naturally gravitated towards using events to build communities, her business brand, and her personal brand.  Racism Ashanti first encountered racism when she was four years old, and she was the only black child in her class. It was the first time she realized she was different because she got treated differently. She experienced bias, micro-aggression, and being stereotyped. An event to raise awareness During an awareness month, while she was in the financial industry, Ashanti decided to put on a diversity and inclusion event for the employees. She invited local school children to participate and help raise awareness and highlight the diversity in the area within which the bank operated. It all happened very naturally for her.  HR and diversity HR is a discipline in the UK where most of the stakeholders are female and white. Those individuals often influence the processes and systems that impact how much people are getting paid and who gets hired, fired, promoted, or trained, even though they may not have lived the experience of difference or being a minority. Ashanti's mission was to help those stakeholders understand how to contribute to becoming more diverse. Diversity Diversity can be attained by hiring different people, paying everyone on equal scales, and investing in people through resources and training. Ashanti Bentil-Dhue's visibility epiphany Ashanti Bentil-Dhue realized that her consistent visibility was a way to create more diversity. That realization prompted her to create 100 White Allies, Diversity Ally, and Black In Events.  100 White Allies, Diversity Ally, and Black In Events She created those consultancies with a mission to simplify things. She wanted to make it accessible for organizations and companies to become more diverse. And highlight to people of color that there is a place for them in the events industry. Encouraging more diversity  Ashanti understood that to encourage more diversity she needed to show up consistently, be good at what she does, and add value for other people. Starting her own business Ashanti always wanted to start a business. Having learned enough from the corporate experience to add value to tech startups, she thought she would have more freedom, independence, and control of her income by starting a business of her own. Instead, she discovered that being an entrepreneur is like being an employee squared. Ashanti Bentil-Dhue's entrepreneurial challenges As Ashanti Bentil-Dhue discovered, being an entrepreneur is not easy. The challenge in owning a business is that you have to be astute, you have to make decisions under pressure, and you have to love what you do. You also need to be driven from within and able to cope with uncertainty and rejection. Monetizing your experience and skills It is vital to know how to monetize your experience and skills. Without knowing how to do that, you will struggle with starting a business. Mindset Ashanti maintains a healthy mindset with the help of several coaches and the support of a community of other entrepreneurs. She has also done a lot of work on her personal mindset.  Scaling Scaling your income is very different from scaling your business. They require different skills, resources, time, and energy. They will result in different outcomes for you as the business owner. Making more money You don't have to create or scale a company to make more money. You need to understand how to make that happen and how to manage all the elements.  Ashanti Bentil-Dhue and online events Ashanti Bentil-Dhue got into creating online events before COVID. She started with live streaming to teach people how to do various things and sell her service. Then, other companies started asking her how to live stream and sell. That was how she got into helping companies create online experiences and events to build communities.  Since COVID  Since COVID, there is much more technology available, and the rest of the world now understands the sustainability benefits and the low cost of the online launch.  Post-pandemic Online events will become a part of a digital and social strategy. They will become more informed and sophisticated than pre-COVID. What's new You can now have global insights on attendee behavior at online events. Online events can now get integrated into a marketing strategy, a recruitment strategy, or a brand-activation strategy in a way that they were not getting done readily, pre-COVID.  A global directory Ashanti has decided to launch an accessible global directory. She feels that her company is in a position to do that because they are unbiased. They will be listing every event technology company out there in one place.  Connect with Eric On LinkedIn On Facebook On Instagram On Website Connect with Ashanti On LinkedIn

In this Episode of Hunting for Purpose, I'm taking you through a brief recap of Australia's history with Racism and undermining the Indigenous People who have been oppressed for hundreds of years! The Black Lives Matter Movement has erupted in the US and caused millions of people to band together for the cause. As a White Australian, I was shocked and angered to learn the deep, systemic racism on which Australia is built and the lies we're being told about it's presence in our society. This journey has been incredibly HARD, coming to terms with an unpleasant truth is never easy, especially of this intensity and magnitude. I wanted to share all the ways I've been learning and educating myself while also to set the stage for the Indigineous People and Indigenous Voices who will be gracing this platform moving forward. Racism is alive and the tidal wave of change is here. You are a Spiritual Warrior, this is YOUR war. This is not the time to sit back and do nothing. As a White Ally, now is the time to push the pedal to the metal and raise your voice! Actively Anti-Racism.

We are choosing to use our voices to advocate for a cause which we stand by. In this episode, Molly and Tricia discuss what we've learned about recent and historical events, racist policies, and the oppression that has led to the current movement for change. In any way we can, we are striving to use our privilege as white women to encourage conversations around being allies for the black community.  While we cannot and will not ever understand how it feels to be black in America, we are using this space to share resources we've found helpful. In addition, we talk through our thoughts on ways to become better educated and how to communicate in a way that we believe promotes societal growth.Resources:Guidelines for Being Strong White Allies: https://www.racialequitytools.org/resourcefiles/kivel3.pdfResearch regarding Hiring Discrimination Against Black Americans: https://hbr.org/2017/10/hiring-discrimination-against-black-americans-hasnt-declined-in-25-yearsHow to be an Anti-Rasist: https://www.ibramxkendi.com/how-to-be-an-antiracist-1Black-Owned Independent Bookstores: https://lithub.com/you-can-order-today-from-these-black-owned-independent-bookstores/**Edit to the episode dialogue: Molly states that the mistreatment of black people has been occurring for 400-500 years. This should be changed to “401 years,” as the first slave was brought over to America in 1619.
