What is Talking Data Equity?

 

Talking Data Equity is a series of weekly drop-in conversations addressing questions with people who are working on operationalizing data equity.

As a community, we share our experiences going from wanting to embed equity in your data work to actually feeling competent doing so.

Feel free to join every week or occasionally and stay as long as you like. There are opportunities to ask questions live from experts and beginners alike.
