Have you ever thought about when you first learned about race? In this throwback episode we talk with Indigenous educator and entrepreneur Brook LaFloe. Brook shares her story and how she discovered the concept of race through the Native American color wheel, which beautifully illustrates the differences and similarities among all people. As we continue to honor November as Indigenous Peoples Month, it’s a perfect time to reflect on why this is so crucial. This month encourages us to celebrate Indigenous cultures, histories, and contributions, while also sparking conversations on how we discuss race with the next generation. #EarlyRisersPodcast #IndigenousPeoplesMonth #BrookLaFloe #RaceConversations #Education #DiversityMatters #NativeAmericanCulture

?? Columbus Day 2024: Reflecting on Our History, Shaping Our Future ?? Today, on Columbus Day, we take a moment to reflect on Christopher Columbus' historic voyage in 1492 that forever changed the course of history. While it's a day to acknowledge the spirit of exploration and discovery, it's also important to recognize the deeper conversations happening today around the impact of colonization. Many are shifting focus toward celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day, honoring the resilience, cultures, and contributions of Native American communities. It's a reminder that our history is complex, and understanding all perspectives helps us build a more inclusive future. Let’s use this day not just to look back but to move forward with greater understanding and respect. #ColumbusDay #IndigenousPeoplesDay #DiversityAndInclusion #ReflectAndGrow #b2bleadscorp

Today, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day—a day to honor the history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities across the Americas. It is a time to recognize the invaluable contributions and rich cultural heritage of the original inhabitants of this land, whose stories, traditions, and wisdom have shaped the very fabric of our society. Celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day also serves as a powerful rejection of the glorification of Christopher Columbus, a figure whose legacy is marred by violence, enslavement, and the initiation of colonization that devastated countless Indigenous lives and cultures. For too long, the narrative surrounding Columbus has perpetuated myths of discovery while erasing the painful truths about his actions and the catastrophic impact they had on Native populations. By refusing to acknowledge Columbus Day, we resist the whitewashing of history that ignores the brutal realities of colonization: the exploitation, forced conversion, disease, and genocide faced by Indigenous peoples. Honoring Columbus perpetuates a narrative of conquest that dismisses the humanity and agency of those who were already here. It is time to embrace a more honest and inclusive account of history—one that acknowledges the harm inflicted and uplifts the voices that have long been silenced. Indigenous Peoples’ Day invites us to reflect on our shared history, confront uncomfortable truths, and commit to a future that prioritizes justice, equity, and respect for Indigenous rights. It is not just a day of remembrance, but also a call to action—to support Indigenous communities, advocate for their rights, and recognize the enduring strength of their cultures. Let today be a celebration of Indigenous resilience and a rejection of the glorification of a legacy built on the oppression of others. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #HonorNativeHistory #RejectColumbusDay #CelebrateIndigenousCulture #DecolonizeHistory #IndigenousResistance #TruthAndReconciliation #UpliftNativeVoices #IndigenousRights #NativePride #LandBack #ResilienceAndResistance
