61. What Does Colonialism Have To Do With The Coaching Industry? 21:20

۲ روز پیش21:20

21:20

Have you ever wondered what colonialism has to do with your coaching business today? In this eye-opening episode, we’re taking a step back to explore the roots of colonialism, beginning with the pivotal Berlin Conference of 1884-1885. If you've been inspired by recent episodes featuring my students courageously navigating racial equity, today's deep dive is essential listening. We're unpacking how historical events like the colonisation of Ceuta by Portugal set the stage for global exploitation, economic inequalities, and systemic racism we still see today. You’ll learn: 🎙 What colonialism truly means and why it matters deeply for online business owners. 🎙 How the Berlin Conference dramatically shaped Africa's history and influenced colonial practices around the world. 🎙 Tangible ways colonial mindsets subtly infiltrate the coaching industry through capitalism-driven narratives, patriarchal leadership structures, and exclusive pricing models. This conversation is about recognising these influences in our present-day businesses so we can consciously move towards genuine equity and inclusion.

What happens when you realise the version of “equality” you grew up with was shaped by privilege? In this episode of REPRESENTED , I’m joined by Tania Carcenac, a life coach, women's circle facilitator and graduate of my REPRESENTED program, who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa. It’s a conversation about proximity, privilege, and what it takes to truly unlearn the messages we’ve absorbed about race, even when we think we’ve done the work and are therefore one of the "good ones." Tania shares what it was like growing up in a system built on segregation and injustice, and the moment she realised being surrounded by racial diversity didn’t mean she fully understood racism. We talk about: 🎙 The stark contrast between her childhood and those of her Black classmates 🎙 How REPRESENTED challenged her to see her privilege and take action 🎙 Why watching Trevor Noah's comedy hits differently now 🎙 The emotional journey of writing an inclusion statement 🎙 How this work is shaping her coaching practice today This conversation is tender and filled with insight, especially for anyone who’s ever wondered: “What difference can one person really make?” LINKS: Tania Carcenac Website Instagram Inclusion Statement I'd love to invite you to dive deeper into racial inclusion work by joining me for the next round of my 10 week online program REPRESENTED .

59. “Is It OK to Use the Term Black?” A Candid Conversation About Race, Parenting & Coaching Ft. Sarah Townsend 1:04:33

16 روز پیش1:04:33

1:04:33

This week’s episode is one of the most heartfelt and honest conversations I’ve had on the podcast. I’m joined by Sarah Townsend an activator, coach, facilitator and graduate of REPRESENTED who shares what it really looks like to move from silence and fear to meaningful action in the work of anti-racism. Sarah came into this work believing she was already “one of the good ones” conscious, inclusive, and kind. But as you’ll hear, what she uncovered about her own inaction, discomfort, and internalised beliefs completely shifted how she now shows up as a coach, a parent to 2 little children and a human. In this powerful conversation, we talk about: 🎙 Why being “a good person” isn’t enough and what Sarah realised about her silence. 🎙 How she shifted from fearing discomfort to asking hard questions, like: Is it okay to use the term Black? 🎙 The moment she saw racism not as individual acts, but as a system and how that changed everything. 🎙 How doing this work made her a more courageous coach and conscious parent. 🎙 What it means to write an inclusion statement from the heart, not just to tick a box. 🎙 Why waiting until you're “ready” only prolongs inaction and what Sarah would say to those sitting on the fence of doing this work. This is one of those episodes that will stay with you. If you’ve ever felt unsure of how to begin or what it means to truly show up for racial equity especially as a white coach, Sarah’s story is one you need to hear.

Later this week on March 21st is not only my birthday, but also the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It's a day that calls on all of us to reckon with racism, because racism is not something in the past, it's alive and evolving today. In this episode, I take you on a journey through the Eras of Racism. From the Transatlantic Slave Trade right up to today’s world of AI bias . Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: 🎙 What racism really is beyond individual prejudice, as a global system built to uphold power. 🎙 The motivation for racism and how it was constructed to justify slavery, colonisation, and exploitation. 🎙 Why March 21 matters, and the tragic event that led to this global day of reflection. 🎙 How racism has shapeshifted across history from overt violence to sophisticated systems, including the AI tools we use in business today. 🎙 And most importantly what role we can play as online business owners to stop perpetuating racism and take meaningful action. This episode is about understanding the history that brought us here and asking: What are you going to do differently? If you’ve ever wondered how to build an online business that doesn’t just talk about diversity but actively works to dismantle exclusion, this episode is for you. And if you're ready to take that next step, I’m also sharing more about REPRESENTED , my 10-week program that helps online business owners create businesses rooted in integrity, equity, and deep humanity because AI is reshaping the world, but whether it will be inclusive depends on us .

When was the last time you questioned whether the path you were on was truly yours? For Eman Ismail, that moment came when she found herself racing home from a corporate job, hoping her two-year-old son would still be awake. Night after night, she arrived to find him fast asleep on the couch, waiting for her. That moment of heartbreak became the catalyst for a radical shift: leaving behind traditional employment to build a business on her own terms. In this episode of Represented , Eman shares her journey from being a burnt-out communications officer to becoming a sought-after email strategist and founder of a thriving micro agency. We talk about the realities of entrepreneurship as a Black, Muslim woman in an industry that often lacks representation, the power of email in driving sales, and why AI will never replace human strategy. We also discuss: 🎙 The real reason she left her job and why failure wasn’t an option. 🎙 How motherhood shaped her approach to business and freedom. 🎙 The importance of representation in entrepreneurship (and how exclusion still operates in online spaces). 🎙 The biggest mistake she made in business and what it taught her about boundaries and ideal clients. 🎙 What online business owners get wrong about email strategy (and how to fix it). If you’ve ever felt trapped in a system that wasn’t built for you, struggled to see yourself represented in your industry, or wondered how to make your emails actually sell , this conversation is for you.

It’s International Women’s Day on 8th March. The hashtags are trending. The corporate brunches are happening. The cupcakes have been ordered. But let’s be honest, does any of this actually change anything? As a solopreneur, I don’t have an office to walk into where HR is running an IWD event. I don’t get the morning tea, the networking panels, or the LinkedIn posts from my CEO. And if you’re anything like me, you might be wondering… "What does IWD even mean for someone like me? And if it is still relevant, how can I actually contribute in a way that matters?" That’s exactly what we’re discussing in today’s episode. We’re diving into: ✅ What IWD was originally created for and whether it still holds that same meaning. ✅ How patriarchy still shapes our experiences as women, even in online business. ✅ The real progress that has been made because yes, things have changed. ✅ And most importantly, how we, as solopreneurs can actually push the needle forward. And if you’re a parent or caregiver, I’m sharing a powerful activity you can do with your kids to help them understand the true impact of IWD and why it’s bigger than a single day. So whether you’re working behind a screen, running your business from a regional town, or navigating the challenges of being an entrepreneur this conversation is for you.

Does your business genuinely make people feel like they belong? Or are you unintentionally sending a message that certain people don’t? In this episode, I sit down with Sonia Thompson, an inclusive marketing strategist, Forbes contributor, and someone whose work has deeply influenced how I think about representation. Sonia’s approach to marketing isn’t about tokenism, it’s about creating spaces where people don’t just see themselves, but feel like they belong. We have an in depth conversation concerning the state of representation in marketing in 2025, what’s changed, what’s still missing, and how businesses can do better. Sonia shares insights from her latest research, revealing the most important types of representation for today’s consumers, from gender to age to body type. We explore how demographics like race, ethnicity and income influence purchasing decisions , and why businesses that invest in real representation, not just surface-level diversity build stronger, more loyal customer bases. We go on to talk about: 🎙 Why inclusive marketing isn’t just the future, it’s good marketing 🎙 The biggest myth about inclusion that keeps business owners stuck 🎙 How to intentionally decide who you want to feel seen in your business 🎙 The connection between representation, belonging, and customer loyalty 🎙 Why performative diversity efforts backfire and what to do instead This is a must-listen for business owners, coaches, and anyone who wants to build a truly inclusive brand. Hit play and take notes. This one’s a masterclass.

54. Exposing Digital Colorism Featuring Christelle Mombo-Zigah 55:18

AI is shaping the world faster than we can keep up. But what happens when the technology meant to serve us erases us instead? My guest today, Christelle Mombo-Zigah , is exposing a critical issue: digital colorism: the biases in AI that distort, misrepresent, and sometimes completely erase people of colour in digital spaces. Born and raised in France to Congolese parents and now based in Silicon Valley, Christelle is a futurist and problem-solver who believes AI can be a force for good, but only if we address its biases head-on . She founded Digital Colorism , an impact audit that helps businesses identify and fix bias in AI-generated avatars and digital humans . Through her extensive research and 20+ interviews with AI users, responsible AI advocates, and data governance experts, Christelle uncovered six alarming areas of bias in AI-generated imagery : ✔️ Colorism – Skin tones altered or erased ✔️ Texturism – Natural hair types misrepresented ✔️ Featurism – Facial features distorted ✔️ Ageism – People misportrayed by age ✔️ Sizeism – Body shapes and sizes excluded ✔️ Accessibility – Barriers for marginalised communities In this conversation, we discuss: 🎙 The real-world consequences of AI reinforcing harmful biases 🎙 How digital colorism connects to historical prejudices , even within communities of colour 🎙 The systemic problems in AI development and what businesses need to do now 🎙 Christelle’s journey as a self-published children’s author and why diverse representation in storytelling matters just as much as in AI. If you’re an online business owner, coach, or just someone who uses AI in any capacity, this conversation is a must-listen. AI bias isn’t just about technology. It’s about power, representation, and ensuring that no one’s identity is erased.

۸ weeks پیش16:39

AI is everywhere right now. From content creation to time management, it’s making running an online business easier than ever. But what if I told you that the very tools we rely on could be harming our businesses and our communities without us even realising it? In today’s episode, I'm tackling something that’s rarely talked about in online business: AI bias . AI isn’t neutral. It’s shaped by the people who create it, which means it can reflect racial, gender, and systemic biases that exclude or misrepresent entire groups of people. And here’s the thing...if we, as business owners, don’t pay attention to this, we could be reinforcing discrimination in our marketing, our coaching, and our programs without even knowing it. In this episode, I share: ✔️ Personal experiences with AI bias: from facial recognition that failed to detect my face to social media platforms blocking voices that should be heard. ✔️ How AI bias can show up in the online business space: and why it matters for you as a coach or course creator. ✔️ What the ‘coded gaze’ is and why Dr. Joy Buolamwini’s research on AI bias completely changed the way I see these tools. ✔️ What you can do to make sure your business isn’t unintentionally excluding people because of AI’s hidden biases. This is an important conversation for anyone using AI in their business and even though you haven't dipped your toe in AI yet, you'll want to tune in. So if you want to be a business owner who is both innovative and ethical , this episode is one you can’t afford to skip. And to help you take the next step, I’ve put together a Free AI Bias Guide. It's a practical resource for coaches and course creators who want to understand AI bias and start using these tools more responsibly.
