Creating a Brave Space for Conversations about Personal Transformation, Racism, and Accountability
Enter a brave space to ponder solving The Cairo Question. Engage in dialogue based on the premise that dismantling racism goes beyond laws and legislation or politics or economics. It’s an inside job where personal transformation and accountability impact social change in multiple dimensions: individual, interpersonal, systemic, and structural. It’s a place to get comfortable with deconstructing your inner thoughts, ideas, and beliefs to examine what flows out into the world through your words, actions, and behaviors, particularly towards others who are different from yourself.
Join this journey towards antiracism and cultivating change from the inside out. In this episode you will get to know Anita Russell, the creator and host of InflexionPoint Podcast. You’ll also get to know the co-hosts, Mavis Bauman, and Gail Hunter. Together they make up an online Antiracism Mastermind Group.
Featured on the #1 positive talk network, streaming live on transformationtalkradio.com and thedrpatshow.com.
Host: Anita Russell
Co-Hosts: Mavis Bauman, Gail Hunter LCSW

March 15, 2023: What Are You Doing to Embrace Equity?
Embracing equity isn’t just about what we say or write about.
International Women’s Day (IWD) is the “celebration of social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women” and has been observed since the early 1900s. It’s a collective movement felt and activated around the world.
The theme for International Women’s Day 2023 is Embrace Equity.
Equity is not something that should be up for debate. It is something we all need to think about, to learn about, to value, and to embrace. Equity should be a part of our individual and collective belief systems, conversations, and actions. It means creating a truly inclusive world. So, the question is what are you doing to embrace equity and contribute to (re)imagining a different future and a different world?
March 1, 2023: The Sting of Adultification Bias Felt By Black Girls
Why are Black girls treated more harshly by schools and
the juvenile justice system than White girls who behave
the same way?
A study from the Georgetown Law Center on Poverty and Inequality suggests a contributing cause: the “adultification” of black girls. The report, Girlhood Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls’ Childhood, found that adults viewed black girls “as less innocent and more adult-like than white girls of the same age, especially between 5–14 years old.”
