E.P. 12 - Diversity and Community in a Pandemic

The UX of Diversity

The 2020 pandemic has fundamentally altered most everyone’s lives across the globe. In this episode, we talk about the impact of pandemic on diverse populations. We talk about the wake up call of the pandemic to be proactive in working on environmental concerns, what role self-care plays in maintaining mental health, and we examine the idea of building community. We also start to ask questions about re-contextualizing your career to build something new and more conscious, while taking a deep-dive on techniques for building intentional communities. We wrap up our conversation with a talk about the concept of the “Temporary Autonomous Zone,” Cyberpunk, collective economics, and how building communities now might just save your life.
