Critical Conversations
Karen Fleshman, Esq.
Black coworkers are struggling with the trauma surrounding the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and so many other lost Black lives, in the midst of a pandemic and economic downturn that has disproportionately harmed Black people.
It’s beyond time for non-Black coworkers to confront anti-Blackness and become true allies to their coworkers. This first webinar (part one of a two-part series) is about the history of racism in the United States and how it manifests today in the workplace and community.
Karen Fleshmen is an activist, attorney, and educator dedicated to dismantling systemic racism and ending all forms of marginalization. Read more about Karen.
