Back in February, we discovered an amazing article on Medium titled ‘Underrepresented Founders are Merely Collateral Damage’. After spending 13 minutes reading it (with our jaws hanging open), we immediately reached out to our podcast team. We knew we HAD to have Daisy Onubogu, the author of the article, on And She Spoke. Tune into today’s episode to learn more about Daisy’s efforts in understanding, tackling, and changing the diversity issue in VC (aka, the business world’s giant elephant in the room). She discusses everything from WHO benefits from the VC system (don’t we all know the answer to this one?), WHY our current methods of dealing with the diversity problem aren’t really yielding results, and HOW we can actually move forward.

The hosts know from experience that it is unrealistic to expect everyone to like you and the work you are doing all the time—so in this episode, Sandy and Jeni offer a healthier way to think about criticism, supporters, and success.
