Customer Reviews
Impactful Conversations!
I love the Impostrix podcast something fierce! Whitney brilliantly brings us the high caliber, indepth conversations we need (and crave!) with extraordinary, thought-provoking guests who share significant insights and solutions to the dily challenges facing BIPOC professionals. As a white woman, these conversations are especially important to help me be a better ally and antiracist. I highly recommend social change agents add Impostrix to their podcast playlist.
