In response to the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, host Morra Aarons-Mele explores the collective grief and trauma that black men and women are facing, and how white colleagues, employees, and managers can push through the discomfort and anxiety they feel when addressing issues of race and racism in their personal conversations.
