Schneider Electric : In diversity there is beauty and there is strength



Episode 5: The Skin You're In

This episode was a bit emotional for us all and we wanted to do it justice so spent a bit more time thrashing around ideas but also doing a lot of research. As a pre-warning, the topics are hard-hitting from cancer to racism, but we felt like they needed to be covered and both are topics that we are very passionate about.

We will kick off as always with some mental health tips, our experiences, and thoughts on the C-word and we chat to our very own Emma about her personal experiences on racism, how people can be allies, and delve into microaggressions, and how painful they can actually be.
