Hey, it's me! I'm back! Ever wondered if I really speak French or if it was a con all along? 🫨
@CollectifMH gave me the wonderful opportunity to share my research with this Q&A: "How to avoid the racist trap of the Fantasy genre?"
It's on Twitch and it's tomorrow! Can't wait!
Last but not least, notre dernière invitée est @SaphDev, qui viendra nous présenter ses recherches sur le sujet "Comment éviter le piège raciste de la fantasy ?" On a hâte de l'écouter dimanche prochain à 18h50
➡️ RDV le 03/09 sur notre chaîne Twitch : twitch.tv/collectifmauvaises…

Imagine performatively hiring someone to solve your organization's DEI problems, not empowering them or giving them adequate support to enact change while expecting them to work within existing white power structures, and then being surprised when they "underperform". 🤔
