Join Empovia (formerly Change Catalyst) Founder & CEO Melinda Briana Epler for the first installment in a new series: Leading With Empathy & Allyship. In this first episode, Melinda focuses on countering xenophobia in the workplace with Michelle MiJung Kim, Co-Founder and CEO of Awaken.

In this episode, Melinda and Michelle have an important conversation about: 

• Defining xenophobia and anti-Asian racism, harassment, and bullying during COVID-19 and beyond
• Intersectionality and the myth of the “model minority”
• Holding ourselves accountable as allies and accomplices
• Practical ways companies can address these issues in the workplace
