White People Make Everything About Race
A podcast for well meaning white folks, trying to make sense of their own racial identity.
If you’re white like me, at some point you’ve probably been told it’s not polite to talk about race. But have you ever really thought about race? About your own race? About what it means for you?
Welcome to a show that asks the question: what does it mean to be well meaning and white in a society that has failed to fully address racial disparities?

White People Make Everything About Race
McKay Chamberlain
On this episode, we welcome McKay Chamberlain.
As Principal Consultant at Adaptive Equity Solutions, McKay advises organizations and national policy networks on centering equity and inclusion in their organizational practices as they work to strengthen their commitment to racial justice.
Before becoming an organizational consultant, McKay served as the President and CEO of Kansas Action for Children (KAC), the executive director of the Kansas Center for Economic Growth and a former Rockwood Leadership Fellow, Sunflower Foundation Advocacy Fellow, and was appointed to the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and the Governor’s Education Council.
Throughout our conversation, McKay will touch on many turning points in approaching their work, and how not even racial equity, but just racial awareness can be a struggle for both individuals and organizations.
We’ll talk about breaking through or moving beyond the shame and guilt that this can surface, and instead working toward a place of productive and supportive action.
