It has been a privilege to have the conversations I have been holding during this series about faith and religious identity, but those conversations have also made me realise that so few people feel safe talking about these topics.

In this solo episode, I'm going to be setting the scene for the mini series ahead. I had planned to talk in this season about the fact that perhaps we could, as educators have conversations in our schools about the Middle East. But as time has marched on, and we find ourselves witnessing everything that has unfolded, and continues to unfold in Gaza, I find myself without any sense-making tools, or at least limited ones. When I considered the season, I intended to interview some brilliant people who held faith identities, and to talk about the way that their faith identities intersected with the violence being played out in the Middle East, and intersected with their roles as educators. But understandably, it feels too raw and too difficult for some to articulate just now. I did have some great conversations in the season, and you will hear them in the few weeks ahead. But I guess I first wanted to talk about advocacy and allyship. Because if anything came out of the conversations that I had with guests on the podcast in this season, it was about the need for us to stand in allyship with people who don't necessarily hold the same identities as us. And so for that reason, I want to share with you something I wrote a few weeks back now and sent out to my newsletter, but it feels like a really relevant and useful way to lead into the season.

Today, I'm really excited to introduce a unique series on the Being Luminary podcast, one that's really close to my heart. Earlier this month, we hosted a sensational event. It was a summit called Reimagining DEI for a new era of ethical leadership. And it was focused on reimagining diversity, equity and inclusion work in the context of all sorts of leadership roles, whether that's coaching or service provision, consultancy, whether you are somebody that's a school leader, a charity leader, we were really looking at how we do this work across our fields. It was an event that was filled with rich discussion, I think some really interesting workshops, and just genuinely inspiring people inspiring talks from leaders across various sectors. So I'm really excited to share that we're bringing parts of this amazing summit to you through our podcast, the series isn't just going to be a replay of the summit. Actually, we're, we're repurposing some of the conversations and some of the insights and some of the wisdom that was shared across the two days. And you're not going to get the whole thing if you do want access to the whole summit, you can still get that later on towards the year we'll be sending sending out some details about that. But for the podcast, we're going to have episodes featuring our guests. And really, we're going to invite you to draw together the themes of the various conversations that we had really thinking and listening deeply to the integral role that diversity, equity and inclusion work has, in any kind of leadership. I'm going to be inviting you to draw together the strands of learning of wisdom from our guests thinking about the importance of humanity, and courage, thinking about how that comes out through all of the conversations that I had with my guests and, and also in these times that we're in, to really think about how some of these conversations can give you heart that we can enact cultural and institutional change if we want to.

"I do think that because of my experiences, and because of, of my feeling around learning, that made me excel in the classroom as a teacher, because I really could understand how to do the building blocks of learning, you know, and break things down and make sure that understanding was there. I think that teachers I've met that have not struggled at school and that have been, you know, those learners that are flying through, have found that journey of being able to break learning down harder."In this distilled episode Angie talks to Carla Whelan, Chief Executive Officer at Empower Trust, about how her experience of school has informed her teaching and leadership practice.After studying at St Martin’s University College, Carla began her career in Newham, London.

"I'm really interested in this idea in spiritual education. And we don't we say it, but we don't really engage with it in schools. And when I have talked about it, people get a little bit kind of itchy."In this distilled episode, Angie talks to Rebecca Leek about how her faith as a Quaker informs her teaching, and why schools in Britain don't engage well with faith.Rebecca Leek is an experienced strategic leader who has worked across a wide range of settings and organisations. She has been a headteacher, executive headteacher, chief executive, a teacher and a Senco. She is a systems thinker, an innovator, and has been described as 'a harbinger of light'. She is increasingly in demand as a speaker, trainer and writer and brings with her a wealth of knowledge and insight from her involvement in a number of sectors including the arts, social enterprise, communications, permaculture and education.Rebecca describes herself as a holistic leader and is interested in systems and cybernetics (governance and management), belonging, and spiritual sustenance within schools. Her practice as a permaculturist informs much of what she does, and in particular the principles of valuing diversity and the marginal.Find Rebecca on Twitter @RebeccaLeek_Connect with Angie on her website - www.angelabrowne.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/in-conversation-with-rebecca-leekThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

“So I want to live in a liberal society where people can have their freedom of speech recognised where people can debate openly on issues on the issues of the day, where people can debate things. Yeah, I think I think liberal societies need debate. And I think they need to have people feel confident enough to call others out as part of that debate. But debate isn't possible where tone policing happens, I don't think because debate requires that everybody's voice does get to be heard, however, that voice is being used. And so I think tone policing and other underminings of the way that something is delivered are a really effective way of actually avoiding liberalism and avoiding debate in a liberal society.”In this solo episode, Angie tackles the thorny issue of freedom of speech and cancel culture, and proposes some questions to ask ourselves when we feel ‘cancelled’.Connect with Angie on her website - www.angelabrowne.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/freedom-of-speech-vs-cancel-cultureThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

“Now I've been the token., so I can wholeheartedly speak from experience of how being the one representative made me feel both a kind of responsibility, and a specialness, but also a visibility that perpetuated my marginalisation. That visibility, that responsibility and visibility also meant that it was impossible to genuinely include me, because I was never just like everybody else, I was always just the voice over there, that might have a really different way of viewing things. And so although I applaud any organisation for wanting to have people in the organisation, who come from a whole range of different backgrounds, experiences, hold a whole range of identities,. I think that without the proper procedures, processes and culture in place, you are at risk of making things worse.” In this solo episode, Angie explores the dangers of tokenism, both to the individual and to organisations. She invites you to ask why you want representation, and to consider how to ensure that true representation avoids tokenism.Connect with Angie on her website - www.angelabrowne.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/tokenism-vs-representation-and-why-you-may-not-want-eitherThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

“Our colourblindness attempts to sanitise, through our intention, the very reliable and very lived impact of the significance of colour in the lives of many people who are racialized as black or brown. Because colourblindness ignores the persistence of racial discrimination and the lack of equity experienced in the day to day lives of people who hold racialized identities.”In this solo episode, Angie explores why the ideas of neutrality and colourblindness in leadship are problematic. She proposes some tips to consider for yourself when confronting colourblindness and the supremacy of whiteness in your own thinking, and developing colour consciousness for yourself.Connect with Angie on her website - www.angelabrowne.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/colour-blindness-does-not-existThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

“When we say that we need to run diversity training, what we actually do is reassert the centre ground. We say we need to train people who don't hold minoritized identities, (the centre ground (everybody who we understand)) on all of those people who do have minoritized identities (those at the margins (everybody that we don't understand)). So what it becomes is a reassertion of the idea that there can be a centre ground, when in actual fact, it's kind of an impossibility. If we are talking about diversity, the question always has to be, diverse from what? Diverse from WHO?”In this solo episode, Angie questions the limits of ‘diversity training’ that focuses on othering minoritised groups, and instead suggests that DEI training that examines ourselves has longer lasting effects within an organisation.In the latter part of the episode, Angie poses some questions to ask yourself next time you run training for and about minoritised people.Connect with Angie on her website - www.angelabrowne.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at www.being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/wanna-know-the-limits-of-diversity-trainingThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

"I do think that because of my experiences, and because of, of my feeling around learning, that made me excel in the classroom as a teacher, because I really could understand how to do the building blocks of learning, you know, and break things down and make sure that understanding was there. I think that teachers I've met that have not struggled at school and that have been, you know, those learners that are flying through, have found that journey of being able to break learning down harder."In this episode Angie talks to Carla Whelan, Chief Executive Officer at Empower Trust, about how her experience of school has informed her teaching and leadership practice.After studying at St Martin’s University College, Carla began her career in Newham, London.

"What I have realised over this summer break, which itself has been a liminal space between everything that I worked on last year, and everything that has come together for the year ahead, what I've realised and come to realise, is that my practice has developed, my leadership training has developed into me facilitating liminal spaces for others, in order that they can emerge out of that space, knowing the first step that they are going to take towards lighting the way." In this solo episode, Angie explores her current thinking on the liminal space between dusking and dawning, and how this informs her thinking on luminary practice.References - Lighting the Way: The Case for Ethical Leadership in Schools, by Angela BrowneIlluminate, by Nancy DuarteWhat I Talk About When I Talk About Running, by Haruki MurakamiAnne Janzer - book coachRichard Rohr You can find out more about Angie and the Being Luminary programme at www.beingluminary.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/the-language-of-luminariesThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

"Once we dispense with the timeline, and the expectation that, you know, things are going to happen on a particular timeline, we can actually position ourselves in ways that make us feel excited about what's going to happen next. So our goals no longer feel impossibly hard to achieve. It becomes actually, what a journey, I'm excited about the journey.

"Because I do this work as my leadership in the world, there is no off switch to it. In many ways, it's because I have become expert, adept, completely at one with constantly scanning the horizon for what's going on in the world, and constantly trying to make sense of it."In this solo episode, Angie guides you through six questions to ask yourself when encountering news stories, to develop your DEIJ Cultural Quotient. To participate fully in the workshop, you will need something to make notes with.The questions are as follows -What is in the injustice I witness in this story?Where do I feel the injustice in my body? Where does this story hit me?Can I work out why this story hits me in this way?What relevance does this case or this narrative have to my own work and my context?What traces of this dynamic do I witness in my work, or in my practice, or in my own organisation?What notes would a luminary make at this point - policy notes, procedure notes, practice notes?Find out more about the Virtual DEI Summit- https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6490a078e9d7661ddee3f214Angie's website - www.beingluminary.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/the-myth-of-meritocracyThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

"The idea of meritocracy validates inequality by putting an enormous amount of emphasis on skill and hard work. And it continues to propagate the belief that success hinges on personal determination and progress, brushing aside all of those intrinsic societal factors, all of those nuances. And it both implies a lack of competence, or inherent laziness in those who don't achieve as much as others. And that's something we should all find grossly offensive."In this solo episode, Angie explores the idea of meritcracy, and why we need to examine our beliefs that everyone can achieve what they want if they put their mind to it.Find out more about the Virtual DEI Summit- https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6490a078e9d7661ddee3f214Angie's website - www.beingluminary.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/the-myth-of-meritocracyThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

"Now, I feel more so than ever, that diversity, equity inclusion work is just good leadership. So as we patrol the border between now and next, what we're also patrolling is the border between the kind of leader that would have been the kind of leader that we want to become. And this new leader doesn't do DEI as an extra thing. Rather, everything they do is infused with an understanding of the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion."In this solo episode, Angie introduces the 2023 DEI Virtual Summit.Find out more - https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6490a078e9d7661ddee3f214Angie's website - www.beingluminary.co.ukA full transcript of this episode can be found at https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/the-2023-dei-virtual-summitThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

"Life does not always get to be easy. And for those of us who are, you know, have existed with the high tolerance levels for a life that hasn't been easy, that are existing with these continually minoritized identities, you know, deliberately saying these identities have been minoritized by a centre ground, if you live with these identities doesn't always get to be easy. And although we can change our thoughts about our lives, we can change our thoughts about our circumstances, that doesn't mean that it gets to be easy."In this solo episode, Angie questions the popular coaching assumption that 'life gets to be easy' and links this toxic positivity to the concept of colour blindness.

"If we look at it in plain and simple terms, then some people will ask you to be part of something because of, of your ethnicity. You know, because you are this, this ethnicity, and it's exotic or interesting. But, you know, and then sometimes you might need to do that. So, very often, I'll be described as a Romani writer. And that might serve the purpose of that particular thing. But actually, in reality, am I a very good storyteller? Am I a reasonably good writer who just happens to be Romani? Or am I a Romani writer? Or a Romani Storyteller? That's, that's a conundrum"In this episode distilled Angie talks to Richard O’Neill about his nomadic childhood as a member of the Romani community, and the prejudices he has experienced in life and work.Richard O’Neill is an internationally acclaimed performance Storyteller, Author and Playwright.

"My mom is white and English. And my dad is black and American. And he grew up in segregation in West Virginia. And I really don't think either of them expected me to experience racism. .. When I got older when I was 12, 11/12/13 and these kids were telling me, 'Don't let your dad pick you up. We can't let my parents know he's black. Don't tell them you're black'. I didn't tell my parents any of that because I knew at that point, that was gonna hurt them. You know, and so I didn't share that with them. Maybe I should have I don't know."In this distilled episode, Angie talks to Sarah Doneghy about the nuances of mixed race experience and being stereotyped as an angry black woman.Sarah Doneghy is an actor, writer, and performance artist.

"Our childhood was kind of framed with violence and neglect and struggle. But also alongside that there were kind of riches in terms of freedom, art, music, friendships...I think my origin story is a lot about holding two truths or multiple truths - dualities, juxtaposition."

"I allow myself the thoughts of doubt, but these are not self-isolating thoughts. No, I make these thoughts hold hands with others. I make them connect with thoughts like 'things are always working out', like 'there are amazing opportunities around the corner', with thoughts like, 'how truly lucky you are.'In times like these, there is an opportunity for us all to face down misery, turmoil and strife with grace and peace, and I invite you to try it. As Rob Bell says, if we stumble or fall, 'wisdom is always around the corner'. If we listen hard enough, she'll tell us exactly how to act, how to pivot, and how to meet what is coming with as much grace and peace as we can muster."In this solo episode, Angie explores her personal journey from anxiety towards peace.You can read the full transcript here - https://being-luminary.simplecast.com/episodes/pivoting-into-the-unknown-with-as-much-grace-and-peace-as-i-can-musterand you can read the original blog post here - https://www.angelabrowne.co.uk/blog/pivoting-into-the-unknown-with-as-much-grace-and-peace-as-i-can-musterThis podcast was written and presented by Angie Browne.

"I feel like maybe disruption, maybe disorder, maybe some degree of changing and a little bit of chaos, even, it's just the way that we live. But in that we have the opportunity to cling on to things that are really sure that are really secure. And there is nothing short or secure than our own sense of ourselves. Because that's what we were born with, we walk with it every day, we hold it, whether we like it or we want to change it is a different matter. But we all are here with a sense of ourselves. And so I've been looking into the future and trying to work out how I can bring people together to commune around identity in really deep ways and meaningful ways a bit like the community project, but also in ways that continue to be innovative and continue to be inspirational."
