REPRESENTED with Annie Gichuru
Welcome to REPRESENTED, the podcast.
This is your weekly dose of inspiration that’ll support you to build a racially inclusive online business without letting the fear of getting it wrong get in the way. These episodes will provide insights, strategies, and discussions that break down barriers and empower you to navigate the racial equity landscape.
I’m Annie Gichuru, your host as well as a Racial Equity Coach who supports online business owners such as coaches, course creators, membership owners and group program facilitators. It’s my calling in nature and ability to break-down complex and often uncomfortable conversations around race that has seen me teach over 100 online business owners to be more racially inclusive through my online program REPRESENTED.
Be sure to subscribe, rate and review so this podcast can reach more online business owners and begin to not only normalise racial inclusion in the online coaching space but see us actively shift our perspectives.

72. Why Learning to Hold Safer Spaces is Still Your Most Important Skill
In the world of online business, we're often told to focus on niche, funnels, and content. And whilst those areas of your business are important, your ability to hold safer space is the real difference-maker.
In this solo episode, I’m sharing why learning to hold safer space is the most important skill you can develop as a coach, creative or course creator. It’s about building trust, showing cultural sensitivity and becoming a leader who sees and honours the full humanity of your clients.
I talk about:
🎙 What it actually means to hold safer space
🎙 How power dynamics, race and cultural identity shape coaching relationships
🎙 The ways harm can occur, even with the best intentions
🎙 Why REPRESENTED teaches this skill deeply, especially in today’s climate
This episode is a reminder that safer space isn’t something we promise, it’s something we practise, moment by moment, client by client, because inclusion isn’t something you say, it’s something your clients feel. And it begins with how you hold them.
