Episode 55--Anti-Racist Conversations with White People with Jesse Ross
Billy talks to Jesse Ross, a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant, executive coach, and international speaker who has delivered over 400 speaking engagements at colleges, conferences, corporate and nonprofit companies, with a large number of those being Fortune 500 companies including LinkedIn, General Mills, and the NBA.
Jesse offers trainings, workshops, evaluations, assessments, and strategy development for schools, businesses, and organizations. Jesse has been engaging his audience with his Morning Minute calls-to-action on his Instagram and LinkedIn page since before our world went into civil unrest.
He is here today to talk about his diversity and inclusion work as well as the anti-racist conversations he has with white men and white women each week, which you can sign up for here.
Billy asks Jesse:
- His weekly anti-racist conversations with white people
- How he gets in front of people who would benefit from engaging in anti-racist dialogue in a way that doesn’t activate a fight/flight/fright response from them
- How he helps people see the nuances when it comes to conversations around race
- Examples he's seen lately of good-intentioned white people being tone-deaf when it comes to issues within the Black community
- His experiences navigating white spaces as a person of color
