Society has gotten radically more inclusive the last few generations. This has largely been a good thing, and prevented countless people from being discriminated against on the basis of their gender, race, or sexuality. But is there an upper limit to inclusivity? Can it go too far? And can we become so 'inclusive' that we end up alienating, harming, and excluding people?

“We can disagree and still love each other” is often framed as maturity or respect — but what happens when that disagreement puts real people at risk? In this episode, we confront how “just disagreeing” about LGBTQ+ lives, identities, and inclusion stops being neutral and starts becoming dangerous.We examine the real-world consequences of polite harm, the myth of neutrality, and the cost of silence when injustice is dressed up as belief or civility. This is a call to move beyond comfort and into responsibility — for families, allies, and anyone who claims to love LGBTQ+ people.Because love that refuses to protect is not love at all.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

This is our first episode recorded live in Sweden, here at Fotografiska Stockholm. And I couldn't imagine a better guest to open this chapter.In this episode, I get to interview the brilliant Keika Lee, Director of Global Public Affairs at IKEA.Keika grew up in Sweden with Korean heritage, in a family where discipline and hard work were part of everyday life. She was on her way to becoming a classical pianist, with auditions at Juilliard and the Conservatoire in Paris, and then she made a decision that surprised many: she walked away.What followed wasn't a straight career path, but years of trial and error. Keika tried many different roles: from bartending and working airport security to studying political science, building a fashion brand with her sister and working in consultancy. From the outside, It might look scattered, but it became one of her biggest strengths: learning how people behave and how to read the room.This episode might make you pause and ask yourself whether what you're building is actually aligned with who you are, and remind you that nothing you try is ever wasted.Read more about the Women Authors of Achievement (WAA) Podcast via waa.berlin/aboutFollow us on Instagram & find us on LinkedInSubscribe to our newsletter via waa.berlin/newsletter ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This is a workshop that took place in Medford Oregon on the topic of Safety, Inclusivity and Diversity in AA from June of 2020. Five folks of different backgrounds deal with a number of different topics discussing their personal struggles, challenges and solutions regarding safety, inclusivity and diversity in AA. This was early days in the pandemic so zoom bombing is also a topic. NSFW - Zoom I removed all the "how to participate" discussion at the beginning (and a ton of announcements at the end) so it feels like it just jumps right in and then out at the end. I also removed a number of spots of dead air between some of the comments and speakers and marked this as NSFW simply because some of the topics might not be appropriate at some workplaces.

God grieves, God provides an ark with room, God gives light in the darkness, and God remembers Noah when the waters feel like they are prevailing.

You've heard the false teachings. You've read the posts. You've seen the statements of faith declaring, “Marriage is between one man and one woman.”This episode is for every LGBTQ+ person harmed by those words — and for every Christian parent who affirms their child, yet still hears that sentence reverberating through their church, their family, and their faith.Let's be clear: no one should believe the Bible condemns them — or their child — because of that claim.Because it isn't biblical. It isn't historical. And it isn't truth.In today's episode, we expose the lie and shatter the myth of “traditional marriage” and the fantasy of the "perfect" family — replacing it with what Scripture actually reveals: love, covenant, justice, and grace.Beloved, this truth belongs to you!Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

In this episode of the Type Theory Forall podcast, we are joined by Valeria de Paiva, a Brazilian mathematician and logician whose work has had a lasting influence on category theory, type theory, and the foundations of logic. She is also a co-founder of the Topos Institute, where she continues to explore deep connections between mathematics, logic, computation, and the sciences. Valeria completed her PhD at Cambridge in the mid-1980s. Even today, pursuing an academic career abroad from Brazil is challenging; doing so at that time — and as a woman — required exceptional determination and resilience. Her trajectory alone already makes her an inspiring figure in the field. This episode is one of the most technically focused conversations on category theory we have ever had on TTFA. Coming from a strong mathematics background, Valeria has worked extensively on categorical semantics, logical interpretations, and the interface between logic, computation, and language. As a result, the discussion goes deep into categorical ideas and their role in type theory. Valeria is also the founder of the Women in Logic initiative, which enabled a serious and thoughtful discussion about gender inequality in logic, type theory, and computer science. The conversation is grounded not only in abstract principles, but in decades of concrete work building communities, workshops, and long-lasting support structures for women in the field. Overall, this episode brings together technical depth, personal history, and a broader reflection on what it means to build a healthier and more inclusive research culture in logic and programming languages.

From which Bible — and whose Christianity?In this episode, we expose the myth of “traditional values,” how the phrase became a political weapon instead of a moral compass, and what real, Jesus-shaped values actually demand of us.Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) Support the show

It's about time we really talk about beauty tech, what it already looks like in parts of Asia, and what it could become in our homes in the next few years, in ways we probably can't even imagine yet.That's exactly what I explore in this episode with Wanfen Xia, CMO and Managing Director at Ulike Europe.Wanfen brings a clear and grounded perspective on where the beauty-tech sector is heading. We talk about how advanced Asian markets already are, what Europe can learn from them, and how new self-care routines might soon become a natural part of everyday life at home.What I especially appreciated in this conversation is Wanfen's gentle, thoughtful approach, shaped by literature, aesthetics, and a deep understanding to what beauty can mean beyond performance or perfection. It's a reminder that some things are meant to be felt intuitively.If you enjoy this conversation, don't forget to rate and review us on your favorite podcast platform.Read more about the Women Authors of Achievement (WAA) Podcast via waa.berlin/aboutFollow us on Instagram & find us on LinkedInSubscribe to our newsletter via waa.berlin/newsletter ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Kamille learned at a young age that not many businesses were interested in hiring a visually impaired employee. Oh yes, she presented very well on the phone with prospective employers, but when they saw her in person, the rejection came fast.  She didn't even get a chance to prove them wrong.Again, Jackie her mom, didn't treat her blind daughter any differently than her other children. She had to learn the ways of the world at a very young age. Kamille would be the stronger for it. Kamille shared that her mother "NEVER let me use the word "can't," and that she taught her daughter "to advocate for herself."Kamille Richardson was born blind but never lacked a vision for a bright future. An author, motivational speaker, and founder of iSee Technologies, Inc., she has overcome various obstacles to build a life and career she loves. Not only is she an advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but she's constantly breaking corporate norms, shattering expectations, and reminding companies that diversity fuels business growth.Here's how Richardson fought against the odds to build her own company—and create more space for inclusion in some of the world's top companies.Raised to Believe in HerselfFrom a young age, Richardson knew she was different—but was raised not to see her disability as a weakness. “My mother never let me use the word ‘can't,'” Richardson recalls. Because her mother taught her to advocate for herself, growing up blind never deterred her dreams.“I was allowed to dream big,” she shares. “I always knew, even when I was younger, that I was going to overcome barriers in the best way I knew how. It wasn't always easy, of course, but I was determined.”Showing Up AuthenticallyWhen Richardson started applying for jobs, she received numerous interview invitations. However, a pattern quickly emerged.“They would see me, and they'd see that white cane in my hand—and the temperature would drop about 20 degrees,” she shares.*She looked great on paper, but once employers realized she was blind, their perception shifted.“Suddenly that warm greeting I got earlier became a cold conversation, and it always ended with the ‘Don't call us, we'll call you,'” she says. “The calls and emails never came.”Tired of rejection, she decided to say yes to herself. “I knew I had the power to hire me,” Richardson explains.*Her determination only grew as she stepped into the business world as a blind, Black entrepreneurial woman.*At first, she believed that fitting into corporate norms was the only way to succeed. “I thought I had to be very corporate, buttoned-up, and wear my power suit,” she admits. “But that's not me. When I tried to show up like that—stiff and stuffy—I wasn't comfortable in my own skin, and the doors still weren't opening.”Only when Richardson embraced her true self did things change.“I showed up with my big curly hair, my big earrings, and my colorful outfits—that's when people started seeing my personality first,” she shares.Building Her Own EmpireA self-described tech-savvy individual, Richardson adapted quickly to e-readers when the iPhone first launched them. Soon after, she founded iSee Technologies with the goal of helping her visually impaired and blind peers regain independence—particularly through employment.But her clients often faced the same rejections she once did.“I said to myself, ‘I need to evolve iSee Technologies to become part of the solution,'” Richardson says. “I decided to use my voice and my platform to go in and teach companies how to be more inclusive in their hiring and workplace culture—so when they see disability, they don't immediately reject it.”Today, iSee Technologies is a thriving business that offers people development consulting, accessibility services, and workforce wellness training to companies and government agencies. Their client list includes The Walt Disney Company, BASF, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Kraft, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Inclusion Is Good for BusinessHiring people from diverse backgrounds and abilities enhances innovation and team performance.“The biggest misconception is that accommodations for people with disabilities are expensive,” Richardson explains. “But 59% of accommodations cost nothing at all—and the other 41% cost less than $500.”Many businesses fail to see the value of disabled employees simply because they don't understand it.“We are some of the most creative and innovative team members you'll ever have,” she says. “We live in a world not designed for us, so we have to be the ultimate problem solvers.”-One of iSee Technologies' corporate clients saw this potential and hired Richardson to conduct training to empower their teams to create more accessible environments. As a result, employees felt more validated and respected—and more committed to their work.“And of course, when you have more engaged employees, that's definitely going to help your bottom line.”  7) Social Media Links/Website:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/kamille.richardson.9INSTAGRAM: @kamillealia,https://www.instagram.com/kamillealia/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/livewithvision/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@lakilaj?lang=en  OTHER: http://www.kamillerichardson.com/WEBSITE: https://www.iseetechinc.com/WEBSITE: https://kamillerichardson.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Natasha Denona for a rare, reflective conversation that traces the creative and philosophical roots of one of modern makeup's most influential brands. Known for palettes that have become industry benchmarks, Natasha opens up about how her work has always been driven less by trends—and more by intention, education, and respect for the user.Growing up between science and art shaped everything. Natasha's mother, a chemist in inorganic chemistry, exposed her early to laboratories, precision, and technical thinking. While chemistry itself didn't immediately click, the discipline behind it did. That structured curiosity later resurfaced in how Natasha approaches formulation, texture, and product architecture—where creativity is always grounded in control.Before makeup, there was painting, theater, and dance. Natasha shares how color became both emotional language and psychological tool, first explored through art and stage makeup. That foundation explains why her palettes feel cohesive yet expressive—each one designed as a complete story rather than a collection of random shades.A defining theme of the episode is education. Natasha doesn't create products to sit on a shelf; she designs tools that teach. Long before “educational beauty” became a marketing buzzword, her launches embedded technique—guiding users through layering, sculpting, and dimension the way professional artists actually work.Rather than chasing novelty, Natasha deliberately builds for longevity. Palettes like Biba and Camel weren't designed for a moment—they were designed to last across ages, skin tones, and styles. Inclusivity, she explains, has always been non-negotiable, not performative. Her decision to launch 52 foundation shades wasn't strategic—it was personal.Throughout the conversation, one belief remains constant: the product should be the star. Natasha never wanted her image to overshadow the work itself.Listen to the full episode of Skin Anarchy to hear Natasha Denona reflect on creativity, inclusivity, and why true innovation in beauty comes from intention—not trends.SHOP NATASHA DENONA CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Welcome & Introducing Natasha Denona(1:14) - Growing Up Around Science, Art, and Photography(4:43) - Early Relationship With Color, Makeup, and Expression(6:11) - From Dance & Modeling to Makeup Artistry(7:26) - Building Iconic Color Stories & Palette Philosophy(9:05) - Inclusivity as a Core Creative Principle(13:19) - Creating Complexion Products at Scale(17:05) - Longevity, Creativity, and Avoiding Trends(24:08) - Entrepreneurship, Visibility, and Authentic LeadershipPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with Denise Vasi, founder and creative force behind MAED, for a thoughtful conversation about building beauty with intention, patience, and care. Denise's path into the industry began early—signed to Ford Models and immersed in on-set artistry long before social media shaped beauty culture. Those formative years, paired with memories of her grandmother's at-home esthetic rituals, planted the seed for a philosophy rooted in preparation, respect, and craft.Before MAED ever existed, Denise built something rarer than hype: community. Through years of honest storytelling around wellness, motherhood, and clean living, she created a dialogue with women who trusted her voice. That trust shaped MAED's slow, deliberate evolution. Rather than chasing trends or speed, Denise chose to listen—developing products only when they solved real, lived problems.At the heart of the brand is a deceptively complex product: the red lip. Denise unpacks why most formulas fail—dryness, poor undertones, and exclusion baked into development—and how MAED set out to fix that. Comfort came first, followed by rigorous testing across skin tones, lip shapes, ages, and backgrounds. Inclusivity, she explains, isn't a campaign—it's formulation, design, and function.Central to MAED's ethos is one guiding principle: care before color. Lips lack oil glands and cannot repair themselves without real barrier support. MAED's formulas focus on hydration, resilience, and wear—so color performs because the foundation is healthy.Beyond product, the conversation explores beauty as ritual and self-expression. The red lip becomes more than pigment—it's confidence, protection, and presence.Listen to the full episode to hear Denise Vasi share the philosophy behind MAED, the science of lip health, and why meaningful beauty innovation starts with care—not trends.SHOP MAED and learn more on their social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Welcoming Denise Vasi(0:59) - Early Career: Modeling, Beauty Sets & Formative Influences(2:16) - Building Community Through Editorial & Made.co(4:48) - Slow Beauty, Brand Intention & Resisting Trend Cycles(7:13) - Reimagining the Modern Red Lip(8:04) - Formulation, Testing & True Inclusivity(12:16) - What Inclusivity Really Means in Beauty(16:30) - Lip Health, Barrier Science & Care-First Formulation(23:10) - Care Before Color & The Cultural Power of a Red LipPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!
