Episode 35- Let’s Talk Race with Karen Fleshman

Join my very important discussion with the wonderful and pioneering Karen Fleshman In 2014, Karen Fleshman, Esq. (she her hers) founded Racy Conversations, a workplace workshop facilitation company, to inspire the antiracist generation. Her experiences in the immigrants’ rights movement and preparing young adults of color for tech careers revealed that racism is the underlying problem in our society, she was part of the problem, and she needed to change. Inspired by Mike Brown, in 2014 she vowed to stop preparing young adults of color for the workplace and start preparing the workplace for young adults of color. Karen is a mentor, activist, entrepreneur, attorney, author, educator, proud San Franciscan, and a single soccer mom. Known as “Commonsense Karen,” she is the author of the forthcoming book “My Name is Karen and I am an Antiracist.” Karen is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, the University of Texas at Austin, and New York Law School, and is admitted to practice in New York. Hundreds of workplaces nationwide have benefitted from Racy Conversations workshops.
