PODCAST: Discussing Racism in the Wedding Industry

The topic we're addressing today is a topic that may be at the forefront of conversation in our current landscape but it's obviously been a longstanding issue. We're talking about racism, and the racial bias that occurs in the wedding industry, with award-winning floral designer Bron Hansboro. We'll go over how you, as the couple, can be anti-racist with your wedding planning choices such as your venue choice, vendor lists and registries.

NAACP
Color of Change
National CARES Mentoring Movement
