Diversity, equity, inclusion, and BELONGING… All things that are important with regard to how and why conference organizers select their speakers.
Troy does a great job of helping us understand his perspective as a Black man and Megan adds gender equity into the conversation. We talk about speaking up about diversity on stages – solidarity also enters the chat.
While we absolutely need more women and people of color on stages at our events, it’s important that you have them talking about what they are subject matter experts on, and not just about DEI (Troy talks about this towards the end).
We also have new TSNN team member Danica Tormohlen who is now joining us to kick off each show with industry news!
