Fostering Allyship and Equity: Vernā Myers, VP, Inclusion Strategy at Netflix and D&I expert

This week, Nicola meets Netflix’s Vernã Myers, who has over 20 years’ experience helping organisations remove barriers for underrepresented communities. Vernã tells Nicola how Martin Luther King’s assassination set her on the path to redressing inequalities in society when she was just seven years old, why she’s helping Netflix create more complex stories, and how we can all become active participants in countering bias.
