Privilege Means Just Having Two Good Choices | Xavier Ramey | TEDxChicago

Xavier Ramey helps organizations shift their cultural and engagement strategies to increase diversity and socioeconomic equity. A native of the North Lawndale community, he shows us Chicago through his eyes and offers real solutions to poverty, crime, and racism if we can honestly examine the impact of our individual life decisions. Xavier is the founder of Justice Informed, a new firm based in Chicago that consults with businesses, nonprofits, churches, and foundations to benchmark, catalyze, and shift their cultural and engagement strategies to increase diversity and socioeconomic equity by leveraging accountable partnerships informed with on-the-ground leaders. A native Chicagoan, by way of the North Lawndale community, he is a recognizable voice and writer on the topics of community and economic development, American culture and history, policing and policy violence, and connecting principles of spiritual faith to our lived human experience. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
