Skupos

Mike Hess, founder of the Blind Institute of Technology, wrapped up our Voices & Choices mini-series yesterday. He challenged us to build technology for the hardest use cases, not the easiest, in order to truly create a universally adopted platform. A powerful voice, inspiring us to shift our mindset and design for accessibility in our culture and in our technology. Thank you, Mike!

Words Matter. Last week, Skupos continued our journey of learning more about how we can be better stewards and partners within our communities. In session 2 of our 3 part series, Voices and Choices, our team chatted with Elaine Marino, a #DEI professional in the #techindustry, about the importance of language and how words are key indicators for systemic sexism and racism. We heard from Skupeeps about their experiences with non-neutral words and implicit bias. It was an honor to hear these stories and reflect on how we can continue to build a workforce as representative as the communities we operate in, and that is inclusive for all.

Last week, Skupos took a small step in our continuing efforts to do better with diversity, equity, and inclusion in our team. In the first of our 3 part series, Voices and Choices, we were inspired by Deena Pierott, Founder of IUrban Teen, as we discussed the tough topic of systemic racism. Our team shared personal stories and learned how to speak up when faced with racism. This short video was so powerful, we wanted to share it with you, our community of partners, customers, and employees. Together, we will make a difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrHIQIO_bdQ&vl=en
