How do we keep the fire of dismantling racism going after the murder of George Floyd? What’s the importance of telling the truth about humanity within our systems? What consequences do Black Americans face by not establishing their agency at work?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts in multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Martin Shepherd, CEO and founder of Arch Access Control and co-founder of EARN. They discussed the importance of standing up for yourself in professional and person spheres. Shepherd explains that Black people are often required to spend extra energy to not come off negative to non-Blacks in a corporate environment. He equates real change to throwing a cog into the gears that perpetuate systemic racism and white supremacy culture. Listen to understand Shepherd’s vision for a more inclusive America.
Martin Shepherd is the founder and CEO of Arch Access Control, a leader in physical and cyber security solutions. Martin founded Arch to eliminate fear of loss due to security breach incidents.
