224: Davey Shlasko | Why DEI Matters And Dismantling White Supremacy

DEI programs are being shut down left and right, and the toxic culture of white supremacy is becoming more rampant. This has led to more and more people making white privilege a norm in their own workplace cultures. Davey Shlasko, founder of Think Again Training, leads the revolution in shaping inclusive, diverse, and anti-racist leaders. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he shares how to build the right leadership that addresses bias, discrimination, perfectionism, and an unfair focus on hierarchy. He also discusses how the worsening perspectives on DEI adversely impact the state of economy, minimum wage, business hiring practices, and a person’s choice of pronouns.About Guest:Davey is the founder and director of Think Again Training & Consulting, a collaborative consulting practice that supports organizations to integrate equity, inclusion and social justice into their long-term planning and everyday practices. Davey co-created the Antiracist Development Group for white managers, an 8-week cohort program based in frameworks of intersectional social justice and challenging white supremacy culture that prepares white people in leadership roles to bring antiracist practices into their management, supervision, planning and everything about their leadership.Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/90517341Guest Website: https://www.thinkagaintraining.com/blog/whyantiracismskillsGuest Social: https://www.instagram.com/thinkagain_tc/https://www.youtube.com/@shlaskohttps://www.facebook.com/thinkagaintrainingAnti-Racist / DEI Reading ListOn Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From The Twentieth Century by Timothy SnyderHow We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective, edited by Keeanga-Yamahtta TaylorEmergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds by Adrienne Maree BrownPleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good by Adrienne Maree BrownHow to be an Anti-racist by Ibram X KendiHow to be a (Young) Anti-racist by Ibram X Kendi Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor by Layla F.
