Like many people, we have been deeply saddened and outraged by the flagrant acts of injustice that are unfolding before us now, and have been for quite some time. While we will never truly understand the prejudices and hardships experienced by people of color, we are here to open our eyes and ears, use our voices, and commit to educating ourselves. Coming from a place of privilege, we feel compelled to use that platform to try to help educate others as well. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a fundamental component in the work that we both do with respect to spreading mindfulness, self-compassion, and positive psychology education to college students, K-12 educators, and the world at large. As a result, we have some informative video content on DEI, implicit biases, and the role that empathy plays in supporting greater DEI among individuals and society that we would be remiss not to share with others. We wanted to make this information available for free to anyone, not just the markets we serve, our only request is that you make a donation to our fundraiser in exchange if you are able to. This content is taught by DEI expert Valerie Brown, JD, MA, PCC, Chief Mindfulness Officer at Lead Smart Coaching. Our hope is that you find these videos and the accompanying resources as informative as we have, and together we can work to become more educated on these important topics.
With love,
Simone + Kailen
