Season 2 Episode 11 | Showing Up, Shutting Up, and Self-Education: White Fragility Edition

In Episode 11:

Listen: I'm sure you already know that us white people have a lot of work to do right now. It's not enough to not be racist — we have to do the work to be anti racist, and to actively dismantle racism. Does talking about this make me uncomfortable as f*ck? YES.

But I'm not going to let that stop me. This is me, showing up imperfectly — but honestly — to share the work I've been doing to to educate myself on how to dismantle racism.

So hey, my fellow white leaders and coaches? We're going there. White fragility, discomfort, resistance, and what the f*ck to do next.
