Hit the Bottle is back! It’s been several months since we last published any episodes, and in that time the world changed. Fires in Australia, a global pandemic, and the tragic killing of George Floyd, leading to a large part of the population questioning police practices and racial bias in the US and abroad.
The following interview with Elaine Chukan Brown was recorded in December last year, when there were far fewer conversations of this sort happening. She is someone highly qualified in speaking on diversity inclusivity and equity, but you will see that even she is hesitant sometimes to offer a perspective.
The most recent Black Lives Matter protests have demonstrated that the issues we discussed are as relevant now as they were six months ago. There may be some uncomfortable truths discussed here, but also many valuable insights. Sometimes looking in the mirror is hard, but if we're honest with each other and we want to move forward as an industry, we need to have these conversations. So, I offer this episode with love, and a genuine wish that it may do some good.
