We are HERE! w/ Dr. Cheryl Miller
I'm an overnight success that took 50 years. Don't get twisted with me. I'm an old lady, right? I'm in the lifetime achievement space. That means that I had to stick with it.
The dialogue shifts to the evolving landscape of the design industry, with Miller noting how the recent changes brought about by the pandemic have opened doors for new voices and perspectives. She discusses the importance of mentorship and the passing of the torch, highlighting how younger designers are inspired by her work and the work of others who have paved the way. The conversation also touches on the challenges of maintaining equity and inclusion in design, particularly in light of recent Supreme Court rulings affecting diversity initiatives. Miller encourages listeners to not only engage in discussions about these issues but to actively seek solutions, advocating for a proactive approach to creating change within the industry and ensuring that the contributions of BIPOC designers are recognized and celebrated.
