Episode notes

People tend to hire people they know and like-minded people. I would just say stop looking in the same places and go look somewhere else. There's, I don't believe there's a pipeline issue. You're not looking in the right places. Just go find where these people are and stop looking at the Stanford's of the world is pretty much what I want to say.

I had the great honor of being invited back to An Event Apart Denver (2019) to record a live podcast episode with Mina Markham, Farai Madzima, & Derek Featherstone on the important topics of Accessibility, Design Inclusion & Ethics, Hiring & Retaining Diverse Talent and Landing a Job in UX. Amazingly, we were able to cover all of this in just under an hour!
