<p>Today I am speaking with Shamelle Pless, a former track athlete turned marketing professional that has been at the helm of some incredible marketing teams for various organizations here in Edmonton. Having focused on promoting home-grown innovation, entrepreneurs, and their stories, we talk all things marketing including trends, diversity in marketing, where the marketing industry is excelling and the areas in which it still needs to grow. 
She shares her experiences being beautiful Black woman in today&#39;s world and how those experiences have influenced what she brings to the table for different marketing projects.

Immigrant Parents and the Accountable Mind - Calvin Yan

Time to get comfortable with the uncomfortable! 
I will be sharing my lived experiences of not growing up around other Black people, increasing my own awareness around systemic racism, and interviewing members of different minority groups from all facets of life to hear their stories and learn through the lens of their experiences.
We will be going deep as we answer the questions of how can we be a better ally? What is it that we don’t know, we don’t know? And how are we unknowingly contributing to systemic racism and discrimination? in order to tap into the power we have to change the world.
