Domenique Harrison Guides Founders Toward Racial Equity and Healing
"When our minds and our bodies are in alignment, when our thoughts and our actions are congruent and they're happening parallel, then we're actually living in a space where we're living slower lives, where we're not hurting people as much, where we're not as in threat as much, where we're more flexible and nuanced."
In this episode of Startups and Stilettos, Carlyn and Ingrid sit down with Dominique Harrison, founder of The Racial Equity Therapist, to explore how systemic norms have historically privileged white male entrepreneurs and how we can rewrite the rules by centering Black, BIPOC, and femme founders. Dominique breaks down why starting with those who’ve been marginalized doesn’t just fill gaps, it creates a rising tide for all entrepreneurs.
Dominique also shares personal stories from her journey as a therapist and entrepreneur, and unpacks the mindset shifts needed to move from scarcity to abundance. From financial planning mentorship to reparative leadership practices, this conversation is a call to action: let's work to stop gatekeeping resources, start repeating equitable practices, and watch the colorful garden that blooms.
What We Talked About:
Domenique’s Mission [3:35]
How We Can Help as Leaders [14:00]
How to Recognize Racialized Trauma in Yourself [18:50]
Repetition and Practice [24:30]
