Your video and workplace media can have a big impact on users, but is it affecting everyone in the same way?
Understanding how your media choices represent people and their experiences can help you select more diverse and inclusive images and videos that impact everyone more effectively.
Jess Jackson, Racial Equity Strategist, and Megan Torrance, CEO, both of TorranceLearning, join this episode of The Visual Lounge to explain how to incorporate a diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) mindset into your video and workplace media decisions.

Learning points from the episode include:
- What is diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging?
