This is episode 100 and if you've been here from the start, you know how much has shifted in the world, in this work and in this space since we first began. Today, the mic gets handed over to my dear friend and business strategist Jess Miller. She's been present for so much of the behind-the-scenes of this podcast and this work and so I'm turning the tables and she's interviewing me.

We're talking about the evolution of racial equity work in Australia, what it means to stay grounded in your values when the landscape gets challenging, the role of community, truth-telling and why showing up, even when the work is slow, is still the most powerful thing you can do. This is a conversation centred around legacy, leadership and the long game.

In this episode we cover:

• How the racial equity and DEI landscape in Australia has shifted over the past six years
• The impact of global politics on diversity, equity and inclusion work locally
• Why values-led business owners are still needed in this space, now more than ever
• The role of community in sustaining this work for the long term
• Truth-telling, misinformation and why education matters
• What it means to build an anti-racist, inclusive business with integrity
• Why showing up consistently, even in slow seasons, is the most powerful thing you can do

This episode is for you if you are:

• A coach, consultant or creative who wants to do business more equitably and inclusively
• A values-led business owner navigating the current DEI backlash
• Someone curious about racial equity work in Australia
• A woman of colour in business looking for community and honest conversation
