Hi everyone and welcome to another mini-episode of White People Make Everything About Race, a podcast for well meaning white folks trying to make sense of their own racial identity.

Today we’re bringing you a clip from the final installment of our Racial Equity for Adaptive Leaders series.

This is a series I’m cohosting with Dr. Joanna Shoffner Scott of the Race in the Workplace pod, which you can find on your preferred pod provider or at www.raceintheworkplacepod.com

In this episode, we talk about the current moment, at the outset of 2025, when the very idea of opportunity for everyone is under attack. When a new federal administration is attacking equity and inclusion in a cynical attempt to defund communities and dismantle the systems and structures we all rely upon to navigate a complex and challenging society.

In this clip we talk about values alignment, and how it’s critical in this moment, particularly when our shared core beliefs are under attack.

To hear more, please check out Season 3; episode 11 of the Race in the Workplace pod with Dr. Joanna Shoffner Scott.
