101: Is It Hard For You to Talk About Race? Dr. Ed Barron is Here to Break It Down.

Welcome to the new Rise Together. We wanted to start out on this new journey by having an open, honest, forgiving, uncomfortable, but above all hopeful conversation about race. In order to do that, and without centering ourselves in the narrative, we asked Dr. Ed Barron, a Diversity and Leadership consultant and Chair of the department of Leadership and Organizational Psychology at Azusa Pacific University, to appear on the show, which he graciously accepted. In this episode we get into it, from the way white supremacy robs all of us of our humanity to the common everyday occurrences that work together to oppress Black voices. If you're someone who wants to get involved with antiracism, but you're not sure how to take the first step, then this episode is definitely for you. Dr. Ed Barron was so generous with his time and expertise here on our show, we wanted to make sure we provided you with links to the resources he mentioned such as the Understanding Racism 101 digital guidebook, as well as how you can get in touch with him on his website or on Instagram. Thanks for listening. Let's rise together. -- Dave's first-ever book, Get Out Of Your Own Way, is OUT NOW!
