Dan Balmer

Season 2022, Ep. 167

Dan Balmer made a bold post on social media after having an epiphany. Only in the infancy of his anti-racism work when he noticed people would acknowledge they have racism within them, but they wouldn't say it directly. Reminiscent of someone standing up at their first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and showing all of the same nerves, Dan went on TikTok and stated the following:


Hi, my name is Dan and I'm a racist.

I have been in recovery for 30-plus years.

Would anyone else like to share?


For most of his life, Dan was certain that he was NOT racist. After acknowledging his bias, prejudice, racism and attitudes of supremacy, he was able to dismantle and redefine everything he ever thought he knew about racism. Dan uses analogies, metaphors and anecdotes to share his new perspective and infuse different energy around the topics addressing racism.
