This episode is a story highlighting the misuse of power by an all white executive team that led to using black experiences and vulnerability to appear as though the organization wasn’t relying on the culture of white supremacy to move its political agenda forward. Their actions tokenized a young woman, their hiring process demonstrates highly unethical practices and ended a standing trust within the community as a safe haven. Listen in.
