The Diversity Dynamic with Keisha Dean, Krystal Atwater, and Victor Williams
/“Diversity equals quality.”
-Keisha Dean, Executive Director, SPD
The first episode of SPD’s The Diversity Dynamic features SPD’s Executive Director, Keisha Dean, and SPD Board Members, Krystal Atwater, Senior Creative Producer, Photo & Video Studios, Fisher-Price and Victor Williams, International Art Director, TIME.
A few members of SPD’s Leadership Team recorded a low-tech discussion about diversity on June 26, 2020. Yes - the screen freezes at some point during the recording. But they keep going because it’s a real conversation. No pretense. No frills. Just honesty and some humor. Watch it. It’s worth it.
You can watch the video Krystal mentions about Insecure and its cinematography from Variety here.
To hear more from Krystal and Victor check out Krystal’s episode on SPD’s Who The F Did That? Podcast with Brad Smith here and Victor’s Off The Record event with Thomas Alberty here.
Special thanks to Ronda Thompson for designing The Diversity Dynamic logo.
