Small Town Z Girl

In this episode, I have a conversation with Tali Lavarry about her upcoming book "Confessions From Your Token Black Colleague: True Stories & Candid Conversations About Equity & Inclusion in the Workplace." She shares her stories filled with common microaggressions and racist experiences she faced in the workplace, in hopes that folx will feel compelled to create change. Her charge is not only to leaders, but also fellow colleagues, by demonstrating what has to be done to create real solutions that protect and fortify people of color and other marginalized groups.
