In this episode I discuss racism and how it effects our staging sisters in life and in business.
I have seen subtle ways that people show racism and “not so subtle ways”. And I have listened to many people say things that are blatantly racist and then vehemently deny that they are racists. Racism has been woven into our society for hundreds of years.
This episode is about listening to 2 courageous women in the staging world whom I deeply respect as they reveal what the world looks like through their eyes- so that we can better understand- so that we can be better allies.
Please keep an open heart. This is not about you. This is about them- and it is about us walking beside them-our staging sisters. I ask that you try and understand their perspective-educate yourself. Ask yourself, how can I do better? How can I be better?
And most of all, keep an open heart! Love them up and let them know that you do care about them!
