EP #16: Everyday Bias: Identifying and Navigating Unconscious Judgements in Our Lives.

On this episode of “Active Allyship…it’s more than a #hashtag!” …
Lisa flies solo with guest Howard Ross, the author of "Everyday
Bias: Identifying and Navigating Unconscious Judgements in Our
Daily Lives." 

Howard Ross is lifelong social justice advocate, and is
considered one of the world’s seminal thought leaders on
identifying and addressing unconscious bias.  Howard has
delivered programs in 47 states and over 40 other countries to
audiences including Fortune 500 companies, colleges and
universities, and major institutions within healthcare,
government, and non-profit sectors.  

According the Howard J. Ross, to be human is to be biased. Lisa
and Howard explore the biases we each carry within us and talk
about how unconscious bias impacts our day-to-day lives. The good
news?  Howard shares ways that we can engage to disengage
the impact of their own biases.  


After the interview, Sunni and Lisa share a positive story in
this weeks "Did You Know." 
from www.goodblacknews.org about authors N.K. Jemisin and
Jacqueline Woodson who are among the 2020 MacArthur "Genius"
Fellows who are awarded a no strings attached $625K grant! 


"Every year, the MacArthur Fellows Program awards its
recipients a $625,000 “no strings attached” grant, an investment
in a person’s originality, insight, and potential so they may
continue to “exercise their own creative instincts for the
benefit of human society.” In 2020, nine of the 21 “geniuses”
that have been selected are Black."
