Torin took a lot of sh*t for calling out Trump's EO on diversity training a couple of weeks ago. Well, Well. Well. He isn't gonna say he told ya, but Julie is. There is always a next step and slight of hand with this White House. Then the D/I story of our lifetime drops in the Rand Corporation's report on Income Trends from 1975-2018. Yeah, we said the D/I story of our lives.

The Propaganda Episode

Crazy and The King Podcast

play

09/10/20 • 50 min

Torin and Julie get DEEP on this week's episode of Crazy and the King. What is RaceCraft? Do you do it? Julie did and now she knows how to do it differently. There is always going to be opportunity to grow and do it better next time and that is okay. Then the Trump Administration pulls back all training contracts related to Critical Race Theory calling it anti-American propaganda. What do you think? Julie requests no white mansplaining, though, PLEASE.

Torin brings the joy! How has D/I changed over the last 10 years? BECAUSE WE DID THE WORK, PEOPLE! A life time's worth of work and worth it every single day. Florida HR (aka Florida SHRM) decided, What the Hell? - let's have in an in person conference. And we have one question, WHO BOUGHT EXPO BOOTHS??? Finally, Julie has to have her piece said about Rep Steve Scalise's DISGUSTING attempt to hijack Ady Barkan's voice. We give lots of love to Old Navy for their love of democracy. Thanks, Old Navy! Julie is buying extra flips next year.

Happy 47th Birthday, Michael Hickson. We are sending our love to Melissa and the Kids.

Julie and Torin get deep on the impact of the COVID-19 impact on women, especially single moms and women of color. The impact is unfathomable. The fix should be coming from the companies we work for every day. We can fix this. We just have to choose to do so. Keep pushing! We cannot be idle.
