Veronica King on Becoming Unapologetic
Veronica King is a master facilitator, executive coach and social justice advocate based in Johannesburg. She is the founder and CEO of Emuthini Consulting which she established in 2002. She draws on her extensive organizational experience at the senior executive level to work primarily with issues of inclusion and diversity with both private and public sector clients. She shared what it was like to begin her career under Apartheid and how she found her authentic self by letting go of needing to make whites comfortable. Nina and Veronica got real about how rank showed up in their conversation and where Nina's white lens limits her understanding of Veronica's experience. It was obvious in this conversation that her work is driven by a deeply held commitment to social justice and transformation.
