In our \u201cAsk A\u2026\u201d series, we ask uncomfortable questions around all types of diversity and initiate courageous conversations that allow us to break down barriers and find aspects of connectivity as people. Here, we have \u201cAsk a Black Guy (Donald Thompson, CEO of Walk West) and Ask a White Guy (Grant Williard, CEO of JouleBug)\u201d, part 2, where we dive into the murder of George Floyd and protests, the shifting narrative on Colin Kaepernick, systemic racism, media bias, the education system that ignores true history and Juneteenth.<\/p>\n
