EPISODE 36 IS HERE! Exploring Race: A Dialogue with Charles Edward Payne, M, Ed.
We are so excited to welcome Charles Edward Payne to today’s episode where we dive into the topic of race to explore how we move forward in supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and creating real, long-term, lasting change.
Charles is a Certificate Educator and Advocate, and has a Masters of Education in Counseling. He is also a certified teacher, TEDx speaker and a fellow mental health warrior... as well as being a very talented performance poet (you can find his work on our website or on his page we tagged above!)
As two white people running a podcast, we were very conscious that it is our own personal responsibility to educate ourselves on the topic of race, and although that’s very much our mission, when Charles reached out to us to suggest we record this episode together, we jumped at the chance and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with him.
In the episode, we discuss topics such as…
✨ The importance of dialogue and discussion within the white community.
✨ The importance of longevity, joy and support systems.
✨ Why the changes we see need to be rooted in the mind, body AND soul.
✨ How data can be triggering for the BIPOC community and why it’s also important to look past the numbers.
✨ Navigating in*******al relationships.
We have a huge list of resources curated by Charles for you to dive into so please head to our website at www.theohs**tkitpodcast.com/episode to check it out!
Let’s get to work!
