Podcast: Did I Just Step in It Again?

How white people can make mistakes and still partner with coworkers of color

You work with well-intentioned people. You are well-intentioned people. Right?

But if you work on a multiracial team, you know good intentions aren’t enough.

Even if you’re a white coworker who really and truly wants to support your coworkers of color, you might have an uneasy sense that it feels so easy to mess up.

On the other hand, if you’re silent and unsupportive because you’re afraid of messing up—well, that’s just another mode of messing up!

Is there a mode switch here?

Yes! More than one, actually, as you’ll learn in this twenty-minute podcast. The Mode/Switchers, Emily, Craig, LaShone, and Ken are joined this week by Calvin University staff member Satrina Reid for a feisty conversation about what it means to be an accomplice for beautiful community.
