Life is multidimensional, and today it required a quick pivot. While our live session with Saprina Danise is being moved to a later date, I didn’t want to leave this Friday without its usual dose of “Golden” brilliance.
I’m thinking… as we prepare to talk about financial sovereignty, let’s revisit the intellectual foundation of this entire project.
Today, I am re-releasing the inaugural episode with the brilliant Shari Dunn. Shari is a journalist, attorney, CEO, and the author of Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work.
Shari coins the term “Competency Checking”—a specific workplace mechanic that many of us feel, but few of us have had the words to describe until now.
In this foundational masterclass, we explore:
🗺️ The Red Herring: Why the “qualifications” debate is often a distraction from systemic power.
✨ The 3 Methods: A breakdown of how competency checking is deployed through Assumption, Expression, and Activation.
🖤 The Gentleman’s C: Why the “Accidental Advantage” creates a fear of true equity.
💫 The Destruction Phase: Why documenting our stories through projects like Dunn’s The Zora Project is an act of resistance.
It’s time to stop letting the world “check” your genius and start owning your Golden multidimensionality. ✨
