BEYOND THE HASHTAG #

BEYOND THE HASHTAG is a platform to facilitate change  in our industry and to prove a space for our community to have honest conversations regarding race. We want to LISTEN to stories from people of color, we want to LEARN how we can be and do better, and we want to ACT on sustaining change in the design industry and beyond. 

​In partnership with the MiD Collective:

Stay Tuned!

We’re currently working on our next session…where our conversation will be centered around how to inspire future designers in secondary education.
