Have you ever been on the
receiving end of a supposedly well-intended — but actually
incredibly offensive — comment, question, or microagression? Well
today's guest, Nadia Ali, knows this feeling all too well. Nadia is
the CEO and founder of Idea Labs in Action, a mission driven
consulting firm designed to advance equity, diversity, and
inclusion in the workplace and across communities.
In
today’s episode, Nadia joins us to share her experience as a
Pakistani-American Muslim woman, including the culture shock she
felt moving from New Jersey to Colorado, some of the traumatic
experiences of oppression and racism she’s experienced at work and
in her personal life, and why she feels it’s particularly important
for BIPOC to prioritize rest.
We’re exploring:
- The two things you NEED to ask yourself before asking someone you’re curious about a question
- Dismantling the 40 hour work week standard, and why that reality is much more difficult to achieve for some than others
- The harmful stereotypes that the media perpetuates
- If any companies are “getting it right” when it comes to rest for their employees
- The steps that Idea Labs is taking to provide rest for women of color
- And even more on the everyday realities of living with a marginalized identity in America
