Have you been asked this question: “What can I do to help?” As African-Americans, we don’t need promises of help, we need allies who execute on plans that benefit the black community. In this episode, white allyship and the hosts’ experiences with racism is discussed. In addition, they explain how white colleagues can become better allies, and companies can create anti-racist environments that support employees belonging to underrepresented groups.
