As you’ve probably seen in other messaging across Career Contessa, we stand in solidarity with the Black community against racism, hate, and injustice. Silence and complacency have no place in our world and especially not on our platform or on this podcast.

In today’s episode we’re joined again by Felicia Jadczak and Rachel Murray, the founders of She+ Geeks Out, to share education around antiracism and actionable ways white and non-Black people can be allies to people of color at work—and life. This is the time to take action and join Career Contessa in this ongoing education around racism and white privilege.
