Did you know that conversations around race are the most avoided topic in workplace DEI efforts? Despite corporate commitments to diversity and inclusion, real conversations about race often get pushed aside, left simmering under the surface, unaddressed and unresolved.

In this episode of Represented Podcast, I sit down with Khayshie Tilak Ramesh, an award winning leader committed to making the invisible visible. With her background in legal spaces, conflict resolution, and community advocacy, Khayshie shares the truth about why these conversations are so hard and why they’re absolutely necessary.

We discuss:

• Why race conversations are still taboo in corporate spaces and how to change that.
• The real difference between activism and advocacy.
• How to create safer spaces for authentic dialogue in the workplace.
• Practical steps for leaders who want to do more than just tick boxes.

If you’ve ever struggled to address race at work or wondered how to facilitate real, transformative conversations, this episode is a must-listen.
