Kike Ojo-Thompson, is an anti-racism expert, and she is doing the work that she has been called to do. She fundamentally believes that there is a different way and that different is possible.Kike Ojo-Thompson is the founder and principal consultant of Kojo Institute. An award-winning expert on equity, inclusion and diversity, she specializes in developing, facilitating and implementing innovative solutions for creating equity at an institutional level. A dynamic speaker and educator who artfully balances tact and honesty, she has over 20 years of experience leading engaging and effective workshops, lectures, mediation, and training for a broad range of organizations eager to create equitable outcomes for their staff and clients.In addition to her equity work with Kojo Institute, Kike is a member of the Ontario Human Rights Community Advisory Committee, the senior facilitator for the province’s carding review team, and the project lead for One Vision One Voice, a first-of-its-kind initiative tasked with addressing anti-black racism in the child welfare system.One of my favorite comments from this interview, and I quote, "Racism has a history. It had a starting point, so it can have an end point. It is not inherent to the human condition."This is an episode that you are going to want to grab a pen, take notes, and listen to the very end.Find Kike online at:Website: https://kojoinstitute.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kojoinstitute/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kojoinstituteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kojoinstitute/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kojoinstitute
