The Equity Gap
Dear white people: here is what you really need to know about allyship
This first episode of the Equity Gap podcast is a sort of calling in to the white people in my circles of influence and any white person listening to this on how to engage, do the work and walk the walk. With anything you’ll come to expect from this platform, it’s not designed for comfort. The work of dismantling the system of white supremacy is about challenging power structures that have kept equity deserving groups from advancing and living up to our fullest potential and it requires straight, raw and honest conversations to evoke some of the change. Many of us have a lot of unlearning to do around equity, so what I share on this platform is meant to challenge, and it will likely cause discomfort, but ideally it will make you think.
