Ideas

Whether she’s interrogating authenticity at work or exploring systemic bias as the root of imposter syndrome, Burey’s critical lens focuses on how things came to be by examining the systems of oppression that construct the choices we make and how we see the world. Working at the intersections of race, culture and health, Burey draws from education, global health, entrepreneurship and other disciplines – with communities of colour at the centre.

Burey leads conversations with prominent community and business leaders with a goal to not just share ideas, but also leverage the power we already have to address inequities all around us. For her, this is where disruption happens.

Bio

During her recovery from a spinal tumour diagnosis, Burey created Black Cancer, a narrative podcast about identity, trauma and health inequities. She also serves as a founding co-chair of the Seattle Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Community of Practice.
