Insights about DEI and Colorism – Part Two

Join me and guest expert Dr. Sarah L. Webb as she helps us to understand more about DEI and colorism.

As a leader, it’s important that you understand what DEI is and how colorism plays its part in the diversity, equality and inclusion conversation.

In Part One of this 2-part podcast, we cover the following:

* What colorism is and an example of it
* What DEI is and how colorism plays into it.
* How the term colorism is raising awareness
* And some of the ways organizations are struggling with this issue

In Part Two of this 2-part podcast, we cover the following:

* How colorism is part of why we are not making more progress with racial justice and equity.
* How recognizing the personal privileges and biases we all have helps us improve our relationships and our position in the social fabric.
* Accepting that we are not individually responsible for racism and extending that compassion from ourselves to others.
* And that while race is a social construct, skin tone is a biological fact with socially constructed meanings.
