110. Diversity in Tech and Media with Damion Taylor

Paula Blair is joined by Damion Taylor to talk about his work directly addressing diversity and representation in the media and technology industries. We think through what diversity and inclusion mean, including for LGBTQIA+, disabled, gender, sex, class, and racial experiences, as well as learning about Damion’s scripted fiction podcast Tech Witch, his conversational podcast Professional Confession, his company Prometheus Digital Studio, and the Digital Compendium online magazine and community. Other topics we meander into include travel, migration, study abroad, workplace conduct, movies, identity, speech, voice acting, writing, collaboration, prejudice, and assumptions. This was such an enjoyable and enlightening conversation. If you enjoy it too, please give it a good rating and share with a friend!
