| Video Discription | In this episode of Ventures, my guest Lindsey T. H. Jackson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsey-t-h-jackson/) and I discuss the journey of anti-racism and anti-oppression work in ourselves, in venture capital, and in startup ecosystems. We discuss the nuances of dismal representation numbers in venture; how to approach Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) conversations in the workplace and beyond; how to develop a regular practice to self-reflect, define your community, and “fail fast” on your own anti-racism journey; and how to encourage others to consider embarking on the journey themselves.

You can also listen to this episode anywhere you get your podcasts (search for "Ventures"). 2:10 - Tee-up and introduction for the episode 3:18 - Lindsey’s introduction, background, brief story, about LTHJ Global (https://lthjglobal.com/) 8:11 - Will’s perspective/background, growing up in navy-town USA, anti-racist influences in his youth. 10:30 - What got Lindsey into DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) consulting work? 13:30 - DEI & anti-racism work as intriguing to all entrepreneurs (it’s about collecting and responding to data, to work safer and smarter) 14:34 - Will’s journey coming from graduate work in a bioengineering lab, gathering and responding to data, influence from Dr. Viola Vogel as he got into venture building & investing. 17:13 - Common references to The Matrix in DEI work, why people ignore data, and listening to the market. “Why am I afraid to talk about racism?” 20:20 - Companies that make great products are made up of people.

(Plus, other identities) 32:52 - Dismal numbers in terms of percent of VC dollars going to businesses owned by black women. 36:04 - Cognitive diversity 36:29 - For those listening in who are new to this conversation, what are recommended next steps to begin their anti-racism journey? (Three things: 1. Find a language/practice to constantly interrogate yourself. 2. Don’t define your community by who you exclude. 3. Fail fast, and give yourself the grace to do so). 45:00 - Will’s quick recap of these three recommended steps. 46:25 - Analogous to Jim Collins’ flywheel language - anti-racism journey can/should be similar. 47:32 - For people on their anti-racism/anti-oppression journey, what is Lindsey’s recommended way to talk about this with others and/or publicly? 49:28 - Referenced author quote from social media: “Dear white-bodied people, as it pertains to racism, this is your work to go get your people” (and analogies to others groups and their people as well) 51:15 - By the age of 5, black and brown children experience racism 5x/day, which increases in frequency as they get older. 51:11 - “How do I know I’m moving forward?” 54:00 - Recapping the various topics we’ve opened up. Consider the venture of anti-racism. Consider unlearning racism as joyful and freeing. 56:05 - By nature, anyone who considers themselves an entrepreneur is well poised to unlearn racism. 56:46 - Lindsey’s work: https://lthjglobal.com/ // https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsey-t-h-jackson/ // Reach out and book her for a speaking gig // Subscribe to learn more about her upcoming book “Unlearning Racism” → http://eepurl.com/htLZyv |
