The Darkest Horse is proud to continue its monthly YouTube Livestream! Each month, TDH brings a timely topic to discuss, dissect, and engage with! In August we hosted a live conversation to explore “Inclusive Return to Work Strategies”, and how to make them inclusive in a mid-COVID reality.
August Contributors include TDH Co-founder, Rada Yovovich; TDH collaborator Maya Toussaint and TDH Collaborator/Client Suzi Lilley. The group discussed how they each felt personally and professionally about #ReturnToOffice, the effective (or ineffective) RTW strategies they've seen in practice and how to be supportive during this unique time.
If this topic resonates with you, and you’d like to create a DEI-minded return to work strategy, we invite you toreach out and learn more about TDH’s strategic road-mapping sessions!
Participants were encouraged to engage through the Livestream chat where folx submitted questions for our co-hosts. Click here to watch the LiveStream episode on YouTube and/or check out the TDH blog for more resources! The transcript of our conversation is available here.

Part 2 of our Q&A session featuring a very special guest, Zaiden Sowle (she/her), who is also our intern and editor of The Darkest Horse podcast!
This week we decided to #MakeSpace rather than #TakeSpace as we hosted a conversation about #Accessibility. Instead of answer questions ourselves, we invited our guest of honor to help us out. Tune in to learn more about Zaiden, how she advocates for herself while being a college student at #SimmonsCollege and how she has turned this part of her intersectional identity into a source of empowerment!
TDH Co-hosts, Chanté & Rada, share how they can relate while revealing their own accessibility needs and how they've learned to navigate advocating for themselves in their professional lives.

This week we’re rebroadcasting an interview featuring Bärí Williams on the Greater Than Code podcast!
About Greater Than Code (GTC): For a long time, tech culture has focused too narrowly on technical skills; this has resulted in a tech community that too often puts companies and code over people. Greater Than Code is a podcast that invites the voices of people who are not heard from enough in tech: women, people of color, trans and/or queer folks, to talk about the human side of software development and technology. Greater Than Code is providing a vital platform for these conversations, and developing new ideas of what it means to be a technologist beyond just the code.
In this special episode we discuss:
01:48 - Bärí’s Superpower: Being a Black Woman
05:20/22:50 - Admitting and Knowing What You Don’t Know
10:00 - Born and Raised in Oakland
19:30 - Unintended Consequences
33:15 - Where is the Light (In the Technology)
42:34 - Getting Organizations to Buy Into the Open Space Concept
48:50 - Who’s Job is it to Educate the Children About Bias
58:47 - Diversity or Inclusion
01:03:59 - Taking Space and Making Space
Reflections:
Arty: Multigenerational roots, becoming your own being, being raised to be proud of yourself and say what you think. Be the roots for the people around you. There has been a loss of grounding.
Chanté: Bärí is the real deal. It takes only a few to change history. Being real is valuable.
Jacob: Wants his son to know that he won’t have to worry when being pulled over, and he should be troubled by that fact.
Bärí: What do you connect to, who do you connect to? What and who are you thankful for? Think about that.
