In this episode, Johanna interviews Luli Adeyemo, Director of Tech Diversity and Founder of Best Case Scenario Marketing.

Prompted by Luli’s piece in InnovationAus calling for a wider review of diversity in tech than announced recently by the Australian government, the pair canvass why diversity matters, why we haven’t achieved as much progress as we hoped in the last decade, and how the tech sector can embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion.
