In this thought-provoking episode of One Voice Evolving, host Kim engages
in a candid conversation with Maria LaChapelle, a seasoned executive
and author of the insightful series Dear White Lady on Substack. Maria,
who has an extensive background in risk management across financial and
manufacturing sectors, shares her journey of tackling racism and white
privilege through her writing. With a unique blend of humor,
intelligence, and compelling historical data, Maria invites listeners to
reflect deeply on the societal constructs that shape our interactions
and beliefs.

The episode centers around Maria's personal experiences that inspired
her to write Dear Mrs. White Lady, particularly a conversation she had
with a neighbor. Maria's neighbor expressed concerns about immigration,
revealing a disconnect that many might find familiar. This conversation
sparked an exploration of how white privilege often allows individuals
to avoid engaging with issues that don’t affect them directly. Maria
emphasizes the importance of reaching out and having uncomfortable yet
necessary discussions about race, labor, and the responsibility that
comes with privilege.
