In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

In this episode, Jazmin and Madison are joined by Dr. Sharanjit Kaur Sandra and Melvin Sedeora of Museum Liberation Force. We chat about how the grassroots group got started, what they hope to see happen with the South Asian Canadian Museum project, and how the community feedback process has impacted them so far. We also delve into the ways that complicated conversations can be handled with care in community work, and why it is so crucial to understand that all racialized communities are not the same. This episode covers some heavier topics, and we recommend that IBPOC folks especially listen with care. *Discussions in this episode were based around the context at the time of recording, in November 2024. Please note that there have been updates since recording, including changes in political administration and the hosting of the MLF event referenced in this podcast.*…
