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.

106. Finding Credible Sources for Racial Inclusion Work: A Values-Led Practice for Vetting What You Consume
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How do you actually decide who to listen to in racial inclusion work?
In a time when so many people have platforms and the volume of content on race, DEI and systemic racism is greater than it has ever been, finding credible sources has become really challenging. What I've come to realise is more content often leads to less clarity and in many ways produces overwhelm. For values-led business owners who want to do this work well, the question of who to trust has never been more important.
In this episode I am sharing the four values that guide me when I'm vetting any source on matters of race.
I share:
- The four values I run every source through before I let them shape my thinking.
- Why a Black source is not automatically credible and a white source is not automatically disqualified.
- The motivation question that tells me whether a source is in this work for the long haul.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Loretta J. Ross TEDx talk on calling in
- A Fresh Nuanced Take on Anti-Racism Ft. Marie Beecham
- Just Tell Me What To Do: The Problem with This Kind of Thinking
How I Can Personally Support You:
If you're realising you need a way to stay connected to this work consistently, to be in community with others who are on the same journey, to have a space where the learning deepens rather than dissipates, that's exactly what we do inside REPRESENTED.
