On this episode of Representing Equity, Dan Kimbrough sits down with Amber Viola, Navy veteran, published author, podcaster, and unapologetic advocate for marginalized communities.

Don’t Be Afraid to Be You

Jason Green is "loud, brash, and sometimes in your face." These are all great qualities for the person running miles on your wedding day trying to capture the "cry or cuss" shot as he puts it. He's also a tall, big-shouldered, long-dreaded black man. Which can be a little intimidating for some. Jason and I discuss his passion for photography, drive for representation in the wedding photography field, and why he is so, unapologetically, Jason Green.
