About this listen

In this podcast episode of Opportunity Consulting, Iris explores the social construct of race and racial equity's critical role in shaping our policies. She discusses how historical legacies of slavery and systemic discrimination have gravely impacted society, necessitating equity audits that prioritize race. Iris further highlights the importance of specificity in interventions targeting racial equities, demonstrating how such focus fosters greater outcomes. She advises on the benefits of adopting an interdisciplinary framework rooted in intersectionality and a systems-thinking approach. Citing research from the Center for Law and Social Policy, Iris illuminates the ripple effects of focusing on racial equity. The end goal is to transform systems and institutions, ultimately creating societal set-ups that are inclusive and provide equal opportunities for all individuals to thrive.
