Different People :: S03E03

Conversation with guest, Shreeraj Patel, Vice President, Royal Bank of Canada. Part 1 of 2. Shreeraj and Abdulrehman discuss the impact of the terrorist attack on the Muslim South Asian family in London Ontario, but also the ongoing more silent hate crimes and racism experienced by communities of colour. They address the urgent need for change, the barriers faced by both racialized and non-racialized people and what it is leaders need to do to prevent hate crimes - be they a slow or tragic sudden death.

It explores the often difficult and avoided topics we can be too anxious to discuss but are necessary to shift thinking, emotion and behaviour, when it comes to bias, marginalization and racism. Through honest and publicly unspoken conversations with guests, Dr. Abdulrehman addresses bridge-building and empathy necessary for personal, community, organizational change and better engagement with different people.
