🎙Mission Equality | Practicing Equalism in Organizations

Hi Y’all! 👋🏽

In our first podcast of 2024, we spoke with Sharon Hurley Hall, Mission Equality founder, about her organization’s mission to build an anti-capitalist approach to organizations. Sharon recounted her journey from freelance writer to anti-racism advocate and co-founder of Mission Equality.

We explored the impact of the 2020 uprisings on her shift to being more publicly vocal about her experiences of racism. Eventually leading to her collaboration with co-founder  Lea Jovy. We explored the differences between equity and equality and what that means in the work of Mission Equality.

Mission Equality works with start-ups, non-profits, and progressive organisations to create a more sustainable approach to leadership and business. They use progressive education to work at all levels (individual, collective, and systemic) to build an alternative to capitalism that we call Equalism. I hope you enjoy our conversation!
