D&I Digest
Join Anchor’s D&I team, Teagan Robinson-Bell (she/her) and Henry Fairnington (he/they), each month as we discuss news articles and reflect on how the stories they cover impact the diversity and inclusion world.
We'll be considering some of the lived implications of news stories that can often feel really detached, having general discussions around diversity and inclusion topics, and even answering some FAQs!
If you'd like to ask us a question that we might answer in an episode, please submit it here: https://forms.office.com/e/jxFHji60ib
