S6E5: Bridging the Divide: How to Foster Inclusive Conversations on Race with Natalie Haynes
Fostering inclusive conversations on race is essential for building understanding and creating environments where everyone feels valued and respected. These dialogues help individuals confront biases, bridge cultural divides, and address systemic inequalities. By promoting open, respectful discussions, we can challenge discrimination, support diversity, and cultivate a sense of belonging that benefits both individuals and communities. Inclusive conversations are a powerful tool for driving meaningful change toward equity and inclusion.
Natalie Haynes is an educator, workshop facilitator, Registered Psychotherapist and speaker. Her signature program entitled, “The Comfortable Race Conversation Process” leads individuals through an experiential process to learn how to have uncomfortable conversations about race with other races. This program has been included in the Government of Canada’s, 50-30 Challenge, as a tool to support organizations to have more honest conversations about race. Natalie’s latest course is called Beyond Respect: Inclusive Leadership in Conversations about Race and can be found on Udemy.
In this episode, Natalie shares why conversations about race are possible, how we move from discomfort to comfort, and what we gain when inclusion and belonging exists in our workplace cultures. She also guides listeners through an experiment to explore their reactions to memories around race, and understanding how your relationship with your racial identity helps uncover unconscious biases and emotions.
