Empathy and Anti-Racism: A Conversation with Simran Jeet Singh

Sinhg sincerely believes that empathy is a balm for our times. He uses personal stories to show how building empathy can transform us for the better, and he offers practical tips on what we can do to bring our values to bear.

Singh also weaves together personal experiences with racism, his work in the racial justice space, and his analytical understanding as a scholar to speak about the power of engaging anti-racism as a way to improve our own lives and communities.

We all say that we choose love over hate. But when push comes to shove, we realize that it’s easier said than done. Our love is not authentic because it’s not rooted deeply enough. An important part aspect of diversity and inclusion is to honor other people’s experiences.

But how can we fully connect with people who we don’t even know? Singh gives everyone a chance to walk in his shoes, taking people on a unique journey based on his own personal experiences – from his encounters with racism while growing up in South Texas to becoming an activist who advocates for equality and justice.
