In this episode of Guilty Privilege, Amber Cabral sits down with Director of Production Management at the National Basketball Association (NBA), Lauren Ware, to talk about the importance of setting boundaries in the workplace, building relationships, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion authentically.
Tune in as Lauren shares insights on how she navigates being a woman of color in a male-dominated sports industry, how to enforce boundaries with grace, and the significance of fostering diverse perspectives in content creation. They also highlight the value of intentional conversations, genuine relationships, and a sense of wonder in exploring different cultures and identities. Both Amber and Lauren emphasize the need for meaningful DEI initiatives that go beyond tokenism and quotas, focusing on creating impactful change and amplifying underrepresented voices in the workplace and beyond.

Great listen/watch. People really underrate how important emotional intelligence is in business. Hopefully more people will listen and utilize some of the information shared.
WOW! I am always enthralled by the conversations had and topics discussed on this podcast. As someone who rarely feels motivated or inspired, I am so grateful to have found this podcast. I have shared this podcast with so many people in my life as each episode offers a brilliant mind’s insight. This past episode I had to pull over and just allow myself to feel the the feeling of motivation and then gratitude. This show doesn’t present itself as a self help podcast, nor does it attempt to—for lack of a better word— preach to it’s audience. However, every episode I find myself unapologetically happy with myself. I find myself sharing this podcast hoping others feel this feeling. Having access to this podcast is one privilege I absolutely refuse to feel guilty for—and boy what a privilege it is!
Amber has a genuine ability to bring out the authentic aspects of topics that many of us must want to sit down and have a conversation about! Refreshing, compelling and yes, entertaining — can’t wait for each episode to drop and I even feel more equipped to expand on these topics in my own circle!
I took away so much from this episode. The biggest is recognizing our true enemy. Also, equity is about choices. We have them and we can choose how to use our privilege.
