Having the opportunity to sit in conversation with Annemarie Shrouder was an incredible honor. Even better is the opportunity to share her wisdom, peace, insights and grace with those of you who tune into Women We Should Know.

I openly acknowledge that my privilege had kept me from considering the difference in how bias is expressed based on the depth of one’s melanin—until I read the title of Annemarie’s book. The very words Brown in a Black and White World shook me out of that ignorance to this being a unique challenge, unto itself.  

As Annemarie shared her personal story of finding her way through the shades of others privilege and bias, into a space of such empowerment that she is now recognized as a world leader in the space of ED & I, was filled with immense gratitude for her, her path and what she shares with the world.

I invited you to tune into this powerful episode that will educate, illuminate and expand who you are as a human in this world of diversly different, and wonderfully similar human beings.  

Annemarie Shrouder BIO

Annemarie Shrouder has spent more than 20 years in the field of Diversity and Inclusion as a facilitator, consultant, and international speaker, and is the bestselling author of Being Brown in a Black and White World: Conversations for Leaders on Race, Racism and Belonging.

A Diversity & Inclusion expert with a Masters in Bias Awareness, Annemarie inspires awareness and connection. Whether she is presenting to an audience, leading a workshop, consulting with a client, or writing, she creates opportunities for people to see more – more of each other, themselves, and the world around them. In so doing, she facilitates an opening to create spaces where people feel a sense belonging and connection, where they can learn together, and be all of who they are.

These are the spaces where real change can happen – for people, organizations and communities.

Other identities that she brings to her role as a “can opener” include: mother to a 10-year-old daughter, biracial child of immigrants to Canada, queer-identified, nature-lover, believer in the power of connection and the both/and vs the either or, and a multiple gold medal swimmer.

Annemarie works with diversity broadly and is passionate about healing the racial divide.
