EP #11: Racism within the Police Force
Show Notes


On this episode of “Active Allyship…it’s more than a #hashtag!” …

On “Did you Know?” segment, Sunni and Lisa discuss the current administration’s efforts to dismantle Diversity and Inclusion efforts by banning Diversity and Inclusion Training.  WTF?!  I know right? Breathe, we’re breathing, taking very deep breaths *woosah*

According to the news, "Trump Bans Diversity Training, Claiming It’s Divisive, Anti-American Propaganda."  If this administration considers Diversity and Inclusion training divisive, y'all better get ready for what’s on the horizon!  Put those headphones on!  

First and foremost, we hear what Edwina M. Williams was marinated in as a child, clearly there’s some comedic talent there…lol. Edwina shares stories from her experiences from her thirty year career as a law enforcement professional. She wore many hats during her tenure, it doesn’t stop there!  She’s more talented than we could’ve imagined!  If you’re wondering whether systemic racism exists within the police force, buckle up!  Have you ever wondered if there are two separate tracks for disciplinary action for those of color and European Americans (Whites).  Oh wait, do you understand the original purpose of the police force?  What about the Kerner Commission Report? Yup, we discuss that too!
