Racism negatively impacts all communities, industries, and businesses. The latest segment of Straight Talk discusses how making the cleaning industry and all workplaces more equitable for workers of color begins with understanding the racism in our social structures.

Business owners need to consider what their company culture and the makeup of their leadership and boardrooms tells a person of color about their chances for upward mobility in the organization.
