Becoming a Change Agent for Racial Injustice

Within (U) with Dr. Vivian Carrasco

With all of the massive shifts happening around us, we are all in a state of self-exploration, learning, and growth. The need for systematic change is now more prominent than ever and there’s no better time to educate yourself and be a part of that change.

In this episode, Vivian discusses the prejudices she’s not only experienced but had to overcome herself. She discusses some of her own struggles as a woman of color, and the importance of elevating the voices of the black community.

Join Vivian in this necessary and pivotal conversation about racial injustice, the impact of assimilation, why we shouldn’t compare protesting, donating, and volunteering, along with so many other vital aspects of the changes we’re experiencing after the murder of George Floyd.
