BAP076 BELIEVE Cafe LIVE & Racial Equity

Dorina Sackman joined me again for another live show on VoicED.ca.  This one has a focus on Racial Equity.
Listen to “BAP076 Racial Equity & BELIEVE Cafe” on Spreaker.

Dorina continues to help us grow our emotional intelligence in this, a time when we need it most.  This week we opened the show talking about the fight for social justice and how we are all looking to grow around the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

I made some points about how important it is right now to use our emotional intelligence and that I am grateful for the #BELIEVE_Cafe work many of us have been doing.  You can jump into Dorina’s free YouTube videos right here:

Among other insightful comments, Dorina shared that she is making a conscious effort to do more reflecting vs. reacting and she is looking to follow more individuals who are doing the work of reflection.

This week we opened the show sharing tweets from Dr. Jose Medina and Dr. Cristina Rhodes.  Here they are:
