What is Intersectional Racial Equity ft. Jason Jackson
What does it mean to live fully and free? In this episode, Tracine invites longtime friend, Jason Jackson, a Human Resources Diversity and Inclusion consultant for HealthPartners (a US-based Medical Insurance Company) into our ongoing discussion on how the practice of love shows up in our work and in our lives.
For this episode, they explore the concept of intersectional racial equity, which is one of St. Paul Youth Service’s values, and how intersectionality can help us rewrite the rules of society. Jason draws from the work of Kimberlé Crenshaw, an American civil rights advocate and a leading scholar of critical race theory, to delve into his experiences and understanding of the complexities of identity. Listen to this insightful conversation on how organizations and individuals can empower themselves to create smart, fair and loving communities.
