The Darkest Horse is proud to continue its monthly YouTube Livestream! Each month, TDH brings a timely topic to discuss, dissect, and engage with! In August we hosted a live conversation to explore “Inclusive Return to Work Strategies”, and how to make them inclusive in a mid-COVID reality. August Contributors include TDH Co-founder, Rada Yovovich; TDH collaborator Maya Toussaint and TDH Collaborator/Client Suzi Lilley. The group discussed how they each felt personally and professionally about #ReturnToOffice, the effective (or ineffective) RTW strategies they've seen in practice and how to be supportive during this unique time. If this topic resonates with you, and you’d like to create a DEI-minded return to work strategy, we invite you to reach out and learn more about TDH’s strategic road-mapping sessions! Participants were encouraged to engage through the Livestream chat where folx submitted questions for our co-hosts.

This week we’re rebroadcasting an interview featuring Bärí Williams on the Greater Than Code podcast!  About Greater Than Code (GTC): For a long time, tech culture has focused too narrowly on technical skills; this has resulted in a tech community that too often puts companies and code over people. Greater Than Code is a podcast that invites the voices of people who are not heard from enough in tech: women, people of color, trans and/or queer folks, to talk about the human side of software development and technology. Greater Than Code is providing a vital platform for these conversations, and developing new ideas of what it means to be a technologist beyond just the code.

Be the roots for the people around you. There has been a loss of grounding. Chanté: Bärí is the real deal. It takes only a few to change history. Being real is valuable. Jacob: Wants his son to know that he won’t have to worry when being pulled over, and he should be troubled by that fact. Bärí: What do you connect to, who do you connect to? What and who are you thankful for? Think about that. --- Learn more about Greater Than Code here Twitter: @GreaterThanCode Patreon: GreaterThanCode Follow Bärí: @BariAWilliams --- Don't forget to follow us on Twitter/Instagram: @TDHCast | Facebook: @TheDarkestHorseCast 🦄🌟 CREDITS: Co-founders + Co-hosts: Chanté Thurmond & Rada Yovovich Editor: Zaiden Sowle Instrumental: "Get Rich" By NorfStar --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tdh-podcast/support
