Actor and activist Joanna Carpenter knows it's not just what we say, but how we say it. In this episode, Joanna walks us through what it means to decolonize language and how she is working to do so with her organization 86 the Barrier. She breaks down why language matters so much in the hospitality industry, but more broadly, she explains how we can make language more equitable in whatever industry we're in. We discuss the ins and outs of displaying your artistic process online, and the one thing she asks herself to consider each time before she posts. And finally, Joanna gives a blueprint for anyone looking to break into an industry they don't necessarily feel has a place for them.
The Ocean Vuong quote I referenced is "We often tell our students, “The future’s in your hands.” But I think the future is actually in your mouth." And you can read more about their quote in context HERE.
