PS: How do you feel about the current coverage of Black founders in the media? What can journalists and media companies do to improve it?
OB: It was initially bittersweet for me because while I was very pleased and inspired by it, it was also a painful reminder of how much we've been sidelined for years. However, I choose to focus on the positives and hope that the media keeps highlighting the diverse range of amazing Black-owned brands both in public spaces and behind the scenes as that's where it truly counts.
PS: What does a world that truly practices "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" look like to you?
OB: A world that truly practices diversity, equity and inclusion not only accepts but also celebrates differences in all people. Access and advancements are equally available to all without any specific group being privileged above another and there's a true sense of belonging in every facet of society.
