Best-selling author and coaching expert, Elena Aguilar, brings weekly tips, tools, and wisdom to educators with one goal: to help you thrive.

This is a different kind of episode. Not an interview or a coaching conversation, but rather a candid talk between two colleagues as we explore how we are processing and responding to the recent rise in overt hate crimes committed against members of the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities around our county. Elena is joined by Bright Morning Podcast producer and COO, LesLee Bickford. Together we explore what holds us back from speaking out against injustices and how we can release those tethers and stand in solidarity.

‍

This episode is for you if you:

Have ever failed to respond to injustice and want to do better in the future.
Benefit from hearing others discuss how they process complex and emotionally charged topics.
Want ideas for how to engage and stand with members of the AAPI community during this moment of increased racialized violence.

‍

Mentioned in This Episode:

Bryan Stevenson - Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative, author of Just Mercy. Quote from keynote “We must get “proximate” to suffering and understand the nuanced experiences of those who suffer from and experience inequality. Stevenson believes that “if you are willing to get closer to people who are suffering, you will find the power to change the world.”
