Welcome to the fourth episode of our brand-new show, Blended.
Blended is all about opening up conversations and giving the mic to all of the underrepresented voices in our industry – women, the LGBTQIA+ community, people of colour, those with disabilities, whether they’re visible or hidden, and many more.
Today in Episode 4, ‘The World Stage,’ we’re going to be looking at diversity and inclusion from a worldwide perspective. What does it look like for our panellists; how does it vary by country, or continent; what are the conversations that are being had across the globe; and how can we join together to shape a better future.
