Join CCL's Ren Washington and Allison Barr as they explore what we can learn about recognizing unconscious bias in the workplace from the way news stories are covered on both social media and mainstream media.
By now, you likely know the name of Gabby Petito. Both mainstream media and amateurs on social media have committed hour upon hour to try and find Gabby and raise awareness of her case. The case captured the nation’s attention as more details of her disappearance played out on primetime news.
Much like the mystery surrounding Gabby’s disappearance, there are a lot of factors that play in this story. But for many, this story only highlights what’s not covered so compulsively by the media: The disappearance and death of thousands upon thousands of women of color. Today, we want to explore what can be learned from the media coverage of Gabby Petito. We’ll look at what parallels exist between this story and our work lives. And we’ll talk about what leadership can take away from some of these big and tough reflections.
