I start off the episode by sharing a few learnings I have had over the last several weeks relating to issues of racism from the perspective of a white, heterosexual, non-disabled, neurotypical male. Then I will offer a new perspective for how we can tackle these issues from the lens of communication.

It happened again the other day.
I just finished up a conversation with an incredibly inspiring woman. We had a lovely chat about who we were and what we were working on.
After the call ended and I immediately got back to work. As I resumed my newest project, some familiar thoughts crept up.
