HAVE THE CHALLENGES OF 2020 CHANGED HOW YOU THINK ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN AND DESIGNERS?

This year has made it abundantly clear how urgently Black voices are needed in our industry. I have always understood the repercussions of the lack of diversity within media and advertising because I live every day having to combat stereotypes that our industry has played a part in creating. My unique vantage point, as a Black first generation woman, is important in introducing a more nuanced and robust understanding of the communities that I am from. This year has revealed an urgent need to utilize media and visual communications to humanize all people of color, no matter their socioeconomic status, education level or citizenship status.
