Can We Chat?

The Can We Chat Squad•podcasters.spotify.com

Welcome to “Can We Chat?”, a monthly podcast hosted by 4 diverse women, brought together by years of collaboration and learning from one another. Most recently, we’ve come together to discuss the complex societal issues of racism and social injustices. We aren’t experts, but our collective experience, personally and professionally, offer diverse perspectives. Our hope is for others to begin their own discussion groups, with the goal of learning, understanding, and ultimately inspiring change. Let’s begin chatting.
