Product Inclusion with Deena McKay, Founder & Host of Black Tech Unplugged

Deena McKay is an IT Consultant for Kin + Carta and the Founder & Host of Black Tech Unplugged, which she launched after feeling like she was the "only one" in the tech industry. On this episode, Deena joins us for a discussion on D&I and Product Inclusion that goes far beyond a conversation on metrics. Here we chat about what Diversity and Inclusion actually mean, and how a lack of diverse thinking can make for some embarrassing product fails.

She also shares with us a few resources on where to go to diversify the applicant pool and find top tech talent, including:
