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.

110. Equity vs Equality Part 2: A Step By Step Explanation of What Equity Looks Like in Your Coaching Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In part one of this conversation, we looked at the difference between equity and equality, why treating everyone the same does not automatically create fairness and how false narratives around DEI are shaping the current backlash.
In part two, we bring the conversation closer to home.
Australia has its own racial history and equity is not only an American conversation. From colonisation and the White Australia policy to the ongoing impacts of racial exclusion, we cannot talk honestly about equality without also talking about the conditions people have been living under.
This episode also brings the conversation into the online coaching industry, where “everyone is welcome” can sound inclusive, but may not answer the deeper question many women of colour are navigating: has this space considered someone like me?
If you are a coach, consultant, course creator, creative or membership host who wants to build a more inclusive business, this episode will help you think more deeply about your client experience, your marketing, your group spaces, your testimonials, your facilitation and the way people move through your business.
Listen to part one first if you haven’t already, then come back to this episode as we look at what equity can begin to look like in practice.
