QUOTABLES:
“The thing about being an ally or being an advocate is when you take the action, it encourages others to take the action. This is what allyship advocacy is about. It's using the power you have to be able to influence the change you want to see.” - Amber Cabral
“When I think about the word resilient — I think about my family, my grandmother who raised us, my mother and the challenges that she faced and overcame, and my own journey — the journey of my community in New Orleans, to rebounding after years and continuously rebounding. I am resilient. And even though I don't want to have to be every day when I need to be, I am.” – Sevetri Wilson
“I like the word resilient because it connotes that I already exist with it. It's not a thing I have to build or practice or learn. Resilience feels like it's innate.” – Amber Cabral

Guilty Privilege is produced by EPYC Media Network
WOW! I am always enthralled by the conversations had and topics discussed on this podcast. As someone who rarely feels motivated or inspired, I am so grateful to have found this podcast. I have shared this podcast with so many people in my life as each episode offers a brilliant mind’s insight. This past episode I had to pull over and just allow myself to feel the the feeling of motivation and then gratitude. This show doesn’t present itself as a self help podcast, nor does it attempt to—for lack of a better word— preach to it’s audience. However, every episode I find myself unapologetically happy with myself. I find myself sharing this podcast hoping others feel this feeling. Having access to this podcast is one privilege I absolutely refuse to feel guilty for—and boy what a privilege it is!
Great listen/watch. People really underrate how important emotional intelligence is in business. Hopefully more people will listen and utilize some of the information shared.
Just finished the first episode (whispers: via YouTube) and I was NOT ready for the conversation to end. So I came on over to the apple podcast streets to subscribe and listen again on my commute to work. While this is not the work I’m exclusively dedicated to, I want to increase awareness around equity so I can be more intentional in my practice personally and professionally. This conversation is an absolute resource that I have the PRIVILEGE (time) to tap into and I look forward to digging into new episodes every week.
Wow! I couldn’t get enough of this. Wished it were longer. The conversation is real, authentic and can absolutely be life changing if you soak the info in. Just finished listening to the episode with Tieko Nejon on emotional intelligence and Amber asked the best questions. Tieko answered so thoughtfully and broke it allll the way down for us. Kudos to both of you. I am sharing this podcast with so many people.
