In our first episode of "ReCX talks Diversity and uncomfortable discussions" I speak with the inspiring and level-headed Leon Barrett, Product Director of 383.
We dive into Leon's journey into tech and 383. How he used to take things apart and build them again and deciding to pursue a degree in Multimedia Technology instead of Law. We hear about his family's words of wisdom as a child and how he was the only black child in primary school but didn’t want his colour to be a barrier and focused on his ability.
This podcast left me feeling extremely emotional, from hearing Leon’s personal experiences dealing with racism, from falling over and cutting his knee at school to as recent as a bar during his Christmas party only last year! But more importantly, he has given me hope and I hope it gives you listeners out there some too!
This podcast series is the most important yet, and by sharing stories like Leon's, we hope to educate but also inspire.
