Are you wondering how to stop harassment?
If you’ve been struggling with not knowing how to interrupt everyday sexism, racism, and other microaggressions, then you’re in luck!
In this episode, I talk with Krystal Atha, entrepreneur and founder of Sembramos, who provide education & community to conscious leaders aiming to improve their capacity to cultivate organizations that are safe, inclusive, and equitable.
- Her 'why' starting in social justice and liberation ethics, and experience with intercultrual dynamics and international administration
- Then went into the Peace Corps, then journalism, starting her own nonprofit and working in tech and user experience
- Realized that she was trying to create safer spaces and the world a better place, but blindspot was doing the work "at home"
- Realized that her own organization was missing DE&I and had a lot of her own internal work to do before helping others
- Why it's important to develop strategies and safer spaces by not judging yourself or talking yourself out when facing microaggressions
