Description
On the podcast today we have Jill Binder and Birgit Olzem, and they're here to discuss the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in the WordPress community. They highlight the creation of a new Slack channel and GitHub project board to address these issues. They also share their experiences in creating inclusive events, gathering diverse speakers, and making WordPress spaces more accessible. We talk about the need to lay the groundwork for DEIB and ensure everyone feels welcomed and included. We get into the challenges of written communication, especially for non-native English speakers, and the importance of understanding different perspectives. We conclude by chatting about resources and upcoming workshops aimed at promoting diversity and supporting underrepresented voices in the WordPress community.
