Diversifying Venture Capital&The Boardroom With Abyah Wynn and Denise Hewett - a podcast by Yola Robert

One of the most actionable ways to actually diversity the economy is to hire or wire. As in, the venture capital industry needs to equitably spread venture dollars amongst black founders, non-black people of color and women along with major organizations needing to hire diverse leaders in the boardroom and in management positions. Abyah Wynn and Denise Hewett discuss with Yola how the VC, tech and entertainment industries can move forward and be held accountable in diversifying beyond the #blacklivesmatter movement.
