Femme Founded - Why you should care about inclusion with Racial Equity Coach, Annie Gichuru

Rising Femme with Monique Harding

I’m so excited to welcome Annie Gichuru, a racial equity coach, partners with The Beautiful You Coaching Academy, guiding entrepreneurs to build inclusive businesses. Her program, REPRESENTED, promotes racial diversity and equity. With a background in HR and coaching, she brings compassion and expertise to her work.

In this podcast with Annie, we explored the nuances of inclusivity in online business, particularly focusing on the unconscious biases and microaggressions that can occur.

Annie highlighted two camps of business owners: those who are new to the work of inclusivity and are afraid of making mistakes, and those who consider themselves inclusive but may still unintentionally exclude others. We delved into the importance of being open to learning and understanding the experiences of people of color in business.

Microaggressions, subtle negative statements that make individuals feel disrespected, were discussed in depth, along with their impact on relationships and business. Annie emphasized the need for a calling-in approach, granting grace for mistakes and providing resources for learning and growth.
Throughout our conversation, the overarching theme was the necessity of continuous self-exploration and improvement in creating truly inclusive spaces in business.
