How to Use Your Voice for Change with Erica Courdae

<p class="">It’s okay to be an <em>imperfect</em> ally when navigating difficult times. </p> <p class="">Wanting to participate in an emotionally charged conversation is important, even if we’re <em>afraid</em> of saying or doing the wrong thing. The beauty of it is… we don’t have to get it right or be perfect. We have to see where we can do more, be better, and expand. </p> <p class="">Everything we do in life requires practice and co-creation... we <em>learn</em> in tandem with others. It’s not about being <em>perfect</em>. It’s about taking action that aligns with your values and then seeing where you want to be different.</p> <p class="">When we keep the conversation moving forward, we can finally shift the narrative for the better.</p> <p class="">On today’s episode of “And She Spoke,” we tackle how to address anti-racism as individuals and entrepreneurs through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with DEI Coach and Consultant Erica Courdae. She bases her work on these premises:</p> <ul> <li> <p class="">A shame &amp; blame-free environment</p> </li> <li> <p class="">It’s not about being perfect </p> </li> <li> <p class="">Taking care of the WHOLE human </p> </li> <li> <p class="">Being better in a way that makes sense for you</p> </li> <li> <p class="">Imperfect allyship</p> </li> </ul> <p class="">To truly evolve, we must show up because we <em>want</em> to do the work... not because we think we’re supposed to! </p> <p class="">Infusing everything we do with DEI allows us to show up and support what matters to us – even if we aren’t always perfect.</p> <p class="">Every time we engage, we chip away at the barriers that hold us back. </p> <p class="">Here’s a peek at what else we discuss:</p> <ul> <li> <p class="">Tone-policing</p> </li> <li> <p class="">Values</p> </li> <li> <p class="">Reconnecting to what matters </p> </li> <li> <p class="">Imperfect action</p> </li> <li> <p class="">Privilege </p> </li> </ul> Resources: <ul> <li> <p class=""><a href="https://www.ericacourdae.com/">Erica Courdae -
