The TBD Podcast Duaa Zaheer

Introducing a new monthly segment to the TBD Podcast, where my friends and I answer questions for and from junior designers! Make sure to follow my fellow co-hosts Zain (@zainkho), Charmaine (@CharmaineWang) and Celine (@ceIiners) on Twitter and check out their work :) 

From Clubhouse to Dispo, invite-only apps are popping up everywhere! Using FOMO to their advantage, these apps might have a smart marketing strategy, but is it ethical? In today's episode, we discuss the effects of FOMO caused by these invite-only apps and how that's impacting us while our lives are so online right now.

Employee referrals have helped me land most of my design internships. However, POC are 35% less likely to get a referral than their white counterparts. It's time for us, specifically senior designers, to diversity our social circles, mentor and vouch for under-represented minorities in tech and help them get their foot in the door. 

Social media plays a huge role in educating people about different social justice movements around the world. From Black Lives Matter to what's happening in Lebanon, Instagram infographics have been used to deliver bite-sized, digestible information. However, are these infographics actually helping us educate ourselves or are they downplaying the importance of these movements?

Hello! This is the TBD podcast where I talk about things I'm intrigued by but don't have a fully formed opinion on yet. Hopefully, by the end, I come to some sort of conclusion....or not. That's TBD.
