Ep 24: Minute to Movement to Revolution with Shades of ABA

Beautiful Humans: The Social ChangeCast

In this eppy, the Beautiful Humans sat down with the hosts of the Shades of ABA podcast. We chatted about building momentum to establish behaviors that lead to long term social change. We detailed how to foster collaboration with marginalized groups as well as how to not perpetuate power imbalances while attempting to “help.” If you “woke up” during this movement, this show is for you!
