Krti Tallam | TBG3

It is our HONOR to bring to our audiences the first episode of Season II of TBG3.  In this opening episode, we chat with creative Vero d. Orozco, an artist with a BFA from  the San Francisco Art Institute and a Masters from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as 10+ years of working in the non-profit sector. In this discussion, we dive into Vero's journey in graduate school, access points for under-celebrated scholars,  the meaning of being a scholar in a place not designed with you in mind to begin with, human-centered design, and what it means to center voices - and whose voices to center in a thesis.

It was a JOY to have this conversation and we know you will get a lot out of this episode.

Following this episode, there will be a short episode all about Vero's work and art!
