Thank you for joining me for Episode 6 where I continue my conversation with my guest from episode 5 where we discuss how to use inclusive design to create a more equitable and inclusive society.

In this episode, Sandra talks with us about:

  1. Understanding what inclusive design is
  2. The benefits to us as a society and personally
  3. Examples of barriers to access and how to make your product or service more inclusive
  4. The challenges that companies face when it comes to inclusive design & DEI

Episode 105: The Expat Experience and DEI in France with Sandra Camacho

Download the Podcast Transcript

Thank you for joining me for Episode 5 where my guest and I discuss our expat experience as two Americans living in Paris as well as how DEI is perceived and practiced in France.

In this episode, Sandra talks with us about:

  1. Her journey as a “double expat” moving from Colombia to the US as a child then from the US to France as an adult
  2. The difference in how she feels DEI is perceived, understood, and practiced in France versus in the US
  3. The importance of cultural humility
  4. The fascinating national discussion on whether French should be modified to become a gender-neutral language.

This is part 1 of a 2-part series. During our conversation, Sandra graciously shares her lived experience in a very open and transparent manner and provides insight into the world of DEI outside of the US but through a US lens.
