As it’s been brought into view for all to see in recent weeks, are you struggling to find just what to say or do in your personal and business response?  If so, you’re not alone. At Uplevel Media, we wanted to have an open, honest conversation about how #BlackLivesMatter aligns with us individually and in our company. It’s important that we at Uplevel Media make the time to take stock to ensure we’re being inclusive, not exclusive. In this episode, Lisa, Simone, and I share our perspectives on issues you may be grappling with in your sphere of influence. We also examine Uplevel Media to see how we can help our clients create and feel welcomed in inclusive spaces. We’re dedicated to walking the walk, not just talking the talk—but it does start with a conversation. Listen in and join us.   Episode Spotlights:     Where to find everything for this week’s episode: karenyankovich.com/123     Introducing this episode’s guest, Lisa Brathwaite and Simone Craig (3:48)     Lisa’s introduction (4:47)     Simone’s introduction (5:35)     Where Uplevel Media stands (9:49)     Lisa’s experience with Uplevel Media (12:41)     Simone’s thoughts on the challenge of racism (16:43)     Having values (19:46)     The richness of diversifying (26:05)     What Uplevel Media should be addressing (28:00)     Incorporating diversity (35:37)     Closing thoughts (46:24)    Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Connect with Lisa Brathwaite on LinkedIn Connect with Simone Craig on LinkedIn Listen to Simone Craig’s podcast show, A Mind for Money Podcast Learn more about Show Up & Serve Listen to the podcast episode with Jess and Elsie Join the Free LinkedIn Workshop Sign up for the She’s LinkedUp Masterclass Join my free Facebook Group if you have any questions about today’s episode    Help Us Spread The Word!
