In part one of this conversation, we looked at the difference between equity and equality, why treating everyone the same does not automatically create fairness and how false narratives around DEI are shaping the current backlash.
In part two, we bring the conversation closer to home.
Australia has its own racial history and equity is not only an American conversation. From colonisation and the White Australia policy to the ongoing impacts of racial exclusion, we cannot talk honestly about equality without also talking about the conditions people have been living under.
This episode also brings the conversation into the online coaching industry, where “everyone is welcome” can sound inclusive, but may not answer the deeper question many women of colour are navigating: has this space considered someone like me?
If you are a coach, consultant, course creator, creative or membership host who wants to build a more inclusive business, this episode will help you think more deeply about your client experience, your marketing, your group spaces, your testimonials, your facilitation and the way people move through your business.
Listen to part one first if you haven’t already, then come back to this episode as we look at what equity can begin to look like in practice.
How I Can Personally Support You:
If you’re realising you need a way to stay connected to the work of inclusion consistently, to be in community with others who are on the same journey, to have a space where the learning deepens rather than dissipates, that’s exactly what we do inside REPRESENTED.
