Bias Is Its Own Virus: Starting Over Post-COVID
Learn more about how to avoid the pitfalls of implicit bias in COVID intervention and help protect and lift up our communities in this discussion with Nathalie Molina Niño, Builder Capitalist at O3 & Author of Leapfrog: The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs, Erika Alexander, Actress, Activist, Entrepreneur, & Co-Founder of Color Farm Media, and Morgan Simon, Founding Partner of Candide Group.
Rules can appear to be applied equally, but actually be designed for certain communities to fail. Like in the case of the PPP program, where an estimated 90% of women and people of color-led businesses couldn’t access support. Or the case of drive-through “free” testing sites– that are limited, of course, to those with money for a car.
We can and will do better. Join Nathalie, Morgan and Erika, two investors and an entrepreneur working to help the public and policymakers think through the racialized impact of COVID, and opportunities to support communities of color at the center of the COVID crisis. Join them to learn more about how to avoid the pitfalls of implicit bias in COVID intervention, and to help protect and lift up our most entrepreneurial communities.
