Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
Such an amazing platform. So many milestones have been made and so many more to come.
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
