Understanding Privilege + Centering Empathy (with Amber Coleman-Mortley)
We get it; talking about race and privilege can be difficult. We’re here to help. Christine is joined by the incredible Amber Coleman-Mortley, whose “hugs and truth” approach to communication is basically what all of us need. Christine and Amber talk about approaching and understanding privilege and whiteness, framed around the actions of centering empathy, creating space for others, and learning about other cultures.
