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

    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. Note: This episode was recorded live during a live stream session of “Stay Woke Or Not,” which is hosted by Dahlia Turnbull.

Stephen Ruiz does a deep dive into the compelling "Hollywood Diversity Report," authored by Dr. Darnell Hunt, Dr. Ana-Christina Ramón, and Michael Tran of UCLA's College of Social Sciences. He looks at the numbers, and talks about how this overlaps with tech, and what this means for a polarized society that's becoming more and more diverse everyday. Grab your popcorn!
