015- Race and Safety with Linda Leu
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.
