The Importance of Diverse Voices in Tech

Impossible Tradeoffs with Katie Harbath

I’ve got another special episode of the Summer Spectacular podcast for you with my good friend Emi Kolawole. Emi has 10 years of experience in communications, design, and tech. In our conversation, she shares her insights from attending the Aspen Ideas Festival and the Socrates program.

She highlights the importance of including diverse voices, particularly women and minorities, in the conversations around artificial intelligence (AI) and technology. Emi also discusses the need for more intentional and inclusive panels and events in the tech industry. She expresses optimism about the future of technology and the emergence of new voices and perspectives.

Emi and I also discuss our interest in tarot as a tool for self-investigation and personal growth. We both gush about Rebecca Auman, who has helped us on our journeys. Check out her podcast, Voices in the River, on which Emi and I were guests. She encourages women to believe in themselves and follow their talents when entering the tech industry.

Enjoy!
