Ep. 123: White People Enter the Find Out Phase
We had some audio issues this episode, but... Trump’s first week back in power is already showing us exactly what we feared—escalating authoritarianism, attacks on marginalized communities, and a playbook straight out of history’s darkest chapters. We break down what’s happening and what we need to be paying attention to. Then, we shift to Black History Month in the workplace—where performative allyship runs wild, corporate statements fall flat, and real change is often nowhere to be found. Why do so many companies get it wrong? And what does true accountability look like? Tune in for an unfiltered conversation on politics, race, and the workplace.
