Tune in to this powerful episode as we explore the intersection between race and personal safety, and join us in fostering a culture of empathy, allyship, and positive change. Linda and I dive deep into the intersection between race and personal safety, exploring the challenges, experiences, and triumphs that come with navigating this complex landscape.
We share personal stories, insights, and reflections, shedding light on the unique perspectives that arise when race intersects with personal safety. We explore the impact of systemic inequalities, biases, and cultural dynamics on individuals from marginalized communities, as well as the resilience and empowerment that can emerge from these experiences.
Through our candid dialogue, we aim to foster understanding, compassion, and a shared commitment to creating a more inclusive and safe society for all.
Linda Leu (she/her/anything respectful) is the Executive Director at IMPACT Bay Area, a non-profit offering violence prevention programs including full-force self-defense. Linda is passionate about supporting others in finding and using their voices and embodying their power. Prior to IMPACT, Linda used her voice as a legislative and policy advocate and organizer. She has also loved working to directly help individuals recover from trauma, teaching trauma-informed mindfulness and yoga to youth and adults in the juvenile justice system and other institutions. At IMPACT, she's excited to be able to combine her love for non-profit leadership, people empowering themselves, and addressing trauma. Linda is proud to have facilitated collaborations that created IMPACT trainings for Women of Color, AAPIs and Interrupting Oppression.
