Scenario

When business partners experience racial dynamics differently

My cofounder is white and I'm Black and there are microaggressions from clients that she doesn't always catch and when I bring them up she gets defensive instead of curious and it's affecting how we work together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two partners are struggling to create shared awareness around racial dynamics that only one of them directly experiences.
