Race Equality Matters

How To Be A Great Leader Being a great leader means your team all feel included, respected, and are aware of what tasks they need to complete. To be able to lead your team, you need to be able to focus. This focus must be on yourself – how you’re feeling and the decisions you make, you team – creating relationships that encourage teamwork, recognising where changes can be made and problems can be sold, and the wider focus – your strategy and work with other leaders. You can enhance your leadership skills by allowing yourself to find guidance and engage with your workers, so you can understand your team and figure out where things can be improved in all aspects of your organisation. ➡️ To access free resources to help you tackle race inequality, join the REM network: http://ow.ly/Lo5q50OFiZf #ActionDrivesChange #RaceEqualityMatters Credit: Tanmay Voya & Daniel Goleman

#Antiracist versus "Not Racist" ~Inspired by Ibram X Kendi, How to be Antiracist~ Antiracist -- 👁 Awareness: Being aware of your own biases, privileges, and how you benefit from white supremacy 👂 Listening: Leaning in and listening without centering your own experiences and whiteness; owning your mistakes and not getting defensive 📚 Education: Educating yourself on race, racism, and white supremacy; paying Black educators (not expecting free education) 🔊 Activism: Speaking out in your personal life, professional life, and social media, and calling people out/in as needed "Not Racist" -- 🙈 Colorblindness: Saying things such as "I don't see color" or "I don't care whether you are Black, white, or purple" 🗺 Proximity: Making comments like, "My husband/ kids/ uncle/ brother/ friend/ roommate is Black, so I can't be racist!" 🙉 Avoidance: Avoiding conversations about race and racism, and asserting that talking about racism perpetuates it 🔇 Silence: Staying silent when others make racist comments or jokes, noting that it's ok as long as you are not the one saying it #Antiracism #AntiracismEducation #AntiracistEducation POST CREDIT: Dr. Batsheva Guy ~Inspired by Ibram X Kendi, How to be Antiracist~
