Hello. I know I'm in Black MNers, but thought this was the right place to post my query so hop it's ok that I'm white. I hope you can help me out here. I've name changed as this is very outing.
I'm very new in a job, tiny company, and my boss has asked me to lead on an in-person EDI (Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) talk/workshop for 30 mins or so this summer. The issue is I'm the only white person in the whole company and I don't feel this is appropriate or sensitive. I have asked if we can do it together, but she'd rather I took the lead as I have group facilitation skills and experience.
So, if you're black and went to a training session/workshop about EDI lead by a white person, how would you feel? Or has this happened to you before? Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you.
