Racism is so heavily rooted in America that it touches nearly every aspect of people’s daily lives. As you’ll hear from guest Shameka Allen-Lane, it even happens in the workplace.
In this episode, I spoke with Shameka, the founder of Catalyst Event Coaching, a company that empowers nonprofits and small businesses to execute their event planning needs by providing them with tailored solutions. She shares her experience as a Black woman working in America and dealing with racism in the workplace.
