Join me and my friend Benny Vasquez, long-time educator and current Chief Equity Officer at the KIPP Foundation, as we discuss what it means to be anti-racist on a personal and organizational level.  Benny offers his perspectives as a lifelong educator and passionate DEI activist.  In this conversation we discuss:

  • The role of white people in dismantling racism.
  • Specific tips for anti-racist hiring practices.
  • The benefit of white affinity groups and why we don't have time for white fragility.
  • Future visions of Black liberation, Black joy and transformation for all.
