With February being Black History Month and all of the conversations about privilege that have taken place over the past year or so, this seemed like a good time to talk about privilege when it comes to race, culture, preferences, and beliefs.\n\nWhile recording this episode, Kimi is in Colombia. She likes to prioritize immersing herself in other cultures, particularly to help her become fluent in Spanish, and her current trip is making her very aware of the privilege that she has in being a foreigner and particularly an American. It is human nature to feel privilege when you are faced with people or circumstances that are different than you are used to, but it doesn\u2019t have to be your default setting.\n\n1.Have an honest dialogue with yourself \u2013 Consider any conscious and unconscious biases you may have and try to see things from the other point of view.\n\n2.Do some research \u2013 Look at data regarding inequality, discrimination, and oppression and you will likely have a better understanding.\n\n3.Stay open to having conversations with others \u2013 Try to understand rather than to judge. This will give you anecdotal awareness and empathy.\n\n4.Become an ally \u2013 If you believe in fair treatment for certain groups of people, speak up and influence change. Especially if you are in the majority group, your voice can reach high places and positively impact the lives of those who have been marginalized.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022Moving past privilege\n\u2022Black History Month\n\u2022Social concepts and dynamics\n\u2022Self-awareness\n\u2022Being open to other points of view\n\nConnect with Kimi:\nhttps://kimiwalker.live/squad \nhttp://www.kimiwalker.com/\nhttps://web.facebook.com/kimiwalker\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kimiwalker \nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/KimiFitWell","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/a4eb14da-41e8-4b1e-9087-8ff0eb0a9c7b/2273995c65fa346f9558ef7477fc933b.jpg"}
