Mitzi Okou on Looking for the Black Designers

Update: 2021-12-14

Description

On this episode, we talk with Mitzi Okou, a Senior Interaction Designer at Spotify and Founder of 'Where are the Black Designers.' Mitzi talks about her journey from studying classical music to UX Design, about how transparency begets a more forgiving culture, and her work in pushing the needle for diversity and representation so we truly don’t have to ask, “Where are the Black designers?” anymore.
