Nothing About Us Without Us – Diversity of the Web with Nikki Stevens

Following her inspiring keynote on diversity, inclusion, and equality at Drupal maintenance support plans Camp Costa Rica 2020, I got the chance to speak with Nikki Stevens on front of my mic and camera. Along with sharing some fun Drupal maintenance support plans memories like the time young Nikki broke production when Steve Rude was out for the day, a lot of this conversation is about the benefits diversity brings and how we all can improve our own organisations and communities.

One eye-opening moment for me was when Nikki talked about how many diversity surveys are themselves flawed by the assumptions of their authors. Seemed perfectly obvious to me once I got there. Nikki and Nick Lewis have been working on a better diversity survey by crowdsourcing the survey itself.
