Representation, Authenticity, and Society

Let us know what you think of this podcast!

Ever wondered what it truly means to belong and be authentic at work? Let's unpack this together! In our season finale, we bring back Veronica Rivero, Lauren Glazin, and Britt Andreatta where we uncovered the nuances of the Creating Belonging model and its four different areas. Veronica shared her perspective on how authenticity can change and evolve in the workplace, depending on the environment and people around us.
From there, we turned our attention to the Crown Act, unraveling how it’s dismantling discrimination based on hair texture and hairstyle, and its significance in affirming identity. We pondered over the power of representation and how it allows us to channel our authenticity unapologetically. We even heard a powerful anecdote about reclaiming an identity as a widow, illustrating the importance and complexities of individual identities.
In dissecting the relationship between representation and authenticity, we acknowledged the media's critical role in shaping this dynamic and our perceptions. We discussed societal expectations, the struggles we face in trying to conform to them, and the importance of confronting our own battles to truly discover our desires. Stay tuned as we redefine what authenticity and belonging at the workplace mean and continue this incredible journey of discovery and understanding.
