&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quotes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;“We answer the question, where do white women go? And in order to meet with and work with black women who want to teach them how to do this work well. And so the answer is the RAARE Woman collective. And so we have events, live events, we have workshops, we have online learning. We have all kinds of tools, downloadable stuff that you can use. We have information.” - Dr. Nikki Lanier&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;"There's something about our leaning already that casts our eyes more naturally on that body of work anyway. So we, we focus on these three P's. So the first P is power and power something that all women are increasingly having, not just white women, but just if you look at like any Forbes, I don't know, Wall Street Journal, New York Times social media posts, you see women moving up into powerful roles. When I'm talking about power, I'm talking about more career from a career standpoint and the PNL that we now have influence over the corporate vision, statements and visioning that we now have influence over and resource allocation that we have now influence over. More than not, if women would lead from the position of power through the lens of racial equity, it's a way for us to really frame differently the outcomes for the companies and the organizations and the departments that we're managing. So there's something that could be leveraged there. That's the first P power." - Dr. Nikki Lanier&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;“We have tended to get rid of history and hide history. And women are have also experienced that from a space of our own divine feminine energy, which is a natural power that is very strong, but that has largely been erased from history as well. Just the power, that is women for thousands and tens of thousands of years. That's one thing that's been erased. But as as also black history been erased in a lot of cases. So women are especially upset about that when they really learn about it and start realizing what has been erased from us. So there's that power of the divine feminine that's also in there.” - Meghann Conter&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;“It is home by home, community by community, workplace by workplace. we are seeing proportional fairness specific to black and Hispanic people plans, programs, initiatives, focus areas that are specifically designed to assure the accelerated amplification of the economic footing of black and brown people. So that means that you're going to have, you know, specific plans around, black and brown mobility inside of workplaces. you're going to have those conversations in your home about, like, the value of black people and brown people and, and where did racism come from and how do we think about, managing it and in this home, what we stand for. So there's like specific conversation, specific programs, initiatives undertaken for Black and Brown. But those programs and those initiatives take into consideration what has happened. So the other thing that would be true in the world that we're looking to create is that we are teaching the history of black and brown people. What happened to black and brown people? We're teaching that that's K through 12. Not a chapter in a book.” - Dr. Nikki Lanier&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Links:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Nikki’s Website - &lt;a href= "https://www.nikkilanier.com/"&gt;NikkiLanier.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://canvasrebel.com/meet-nikki-lanier/"&gt;Meet Nikki Lanier - Canvas Rebel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.raarewomancollective.com/becoming-a-racial-equity-operative"&gt; RAARE Woman Collective&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-nikki-r-6a106a8"&gt;Connect with Nikki Lanier on LinkedIn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Learn about The Dames: &lt;a href= "https://www.thedames.co/download"&gt;https://www.thedames.co/download&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Qualified Women Business Owners Register for a Dames Virtual Roundtable: &lt;a href= "Https://www.thedames.co/roundtable"&gt;Https://www.thedames.co/roundtable&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghannconter/"&gt;Connect with Meghann on LinkedIn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Guest Bio:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://static1.squarespace.com/static/639e7b657eed3c4968534719/t/63bf84052244a243b90caa77/1673495557754/Nikki+Lanier+PDF+Bio.pdf"&gt; Nikki Lanier Bio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;When asked why she has focused so much of her professional life on advancing racial equity, Nikki Lanier will tell you it was an assignment passed to her "in utero".
