#3 - Race, Diversity, and Allyship in the Workplace, an SE Perspective with Optimizely SE Devin Saxon

In this episode, we speak with an Optimizely SE on a very important topic that needs to be discussed. We talk through how we can support and show up for our Black teammates in more meaningful and consistent ways. This episode amplifies Devin Saxon’s voice as we hold a space to listen to his experience, and he shares ideas to help society move forward.   

Devin’s recommended actions: 1) donate and support foundations: blacklivesmatter.com, gofundme.com/f/Anti-Racism-Fund, naacpldf.org, and knowyourrightscamp.com, 2) protests, 3) listen to Black people sharing perspectives, 4) most importantly, educate yourself!! Here are some additional resources for that:
