Sommario/riassunto

REAL TALK places the wording necessary for discussions about racism and anti-racism in direct contact with how to say the uncomfortable things, do the necessary things, and remain responsible to best business models throughout. REAL STRATEGIES prioritize ACTION-NOW Learning Engagements which center actions primed to create externally evidenced anti-racist outcomes. REAL TIME incorporates role plays from business scenarios to interrupt and dismantle racism in the moment. REAL CHANGE requires accountability and measurement. So,
