“Feeling a heightened sense of my family being in peril really made me realise that a lot of what people were doing and saying and reacting to was based on a couple of things. One, a lack of experience with the groups or the cohorts that they were rallying against. And the second, being their only exposure to those people or concepts was through media, which is common through so many people's lives. If you don't have access to a specific culture or group or cohort, the little bit that you do becomes the whole, the totality of your perception of that group.”

Damion Taylor has spent the last 15 years applying data and technology to entertainment. Both analytical and creative, he brings a unique skill set that’s in high demand for brands and media companies.

However, being Black in media and technology, Damion has experienced first-hand the impact of pervasive unconscious biases.

Damion has now begun the journey of helping to bring those biases to light for himself and for others. He hosts a podcast : Professional Confessions.
