About this listen

As a diversity, equity, and inclusive professional and IT analyst at one of Seattle's largest retailers, Heru Tchaas Amen is actively working to create, expand, and sustain high-level director and C-suite opportunities for Black people and other people of color.

With a full beard, long locks, and an Afrocentric wardrobe, Heru doesn't show up as your typical IT guy—and that's by design. "That became an asset," he tells Trae as he describes how looking differently, thinking differently, acting differently, and advocating for solutions and activations that go against the white, male norm has been a hallmark of his success.

This week's Chime In comes from Heru's collaborator Samut Abata and gives us more insight into the work that they do separately and together in the realm of spiritual and physical wellness. Visit Heru's coaching, teaching, wellness site for more on that aspect of his equity work.
