"Racism or deep-seated feelings of supremacy come from a gaping hole, a deep feeling of insecurity for which one overcompensates."
Writer and activist Chloé Valdary joins the podcast for a discussion of her "Theory of Enchantment" program and her feelings on race in America today. She and Daniel discuss how conversations about race have shifted in the past few years. She also makes reference to James Baldwin and Martin Luther King, Jr. as examples of illustrating how love serves as her guiding principal when dealing with every situation she faces.
After spending a year as a Bartley fellow at the Wall Street Journal, Chloé Valdary developed The Theory of Enchantment, an innovative framework for compassionate antiracism that combines social emotional learning (SEL), character development, and interpersonal growth as tools for leadership development in the boardroom and beyond. Chloé has trained around the world, including in South Africa, The Netherlands, Germany, and Israel. Her clients have included high school and college students, government agencies, business teams, and many more. She has also lectured in universities across America, including Harvard and Georgetown. Her work has been covered in Psychology Today Magazine and her writings have appeared in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
