Underrepresented communities refer to groups that have historically faced marginalization, discrimination, and barriers to accessing resources and opportunities.

More on: Underrepresented communities

The podcast episodes discuss the importance of supporting and investing in underrepresented communities, such as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and low-wealth communities, to drive economic empowerment and social justice.

The episodes highlight the need to amplify the voices of these communities, address systemic biases, and partner with them to create more inclusive and equitable systems.

For example, the episode Lyndsey Gilpin and Tajah McQueen on Empowering Community Reporters focuses on the efforts of a nonprofit news site, Southerly, to empower community voices in environmental journalism, particularly in the Southern United States. The episode Hiring for Diversity: Inclusive Recruiting Best Practices with Mathison's Arthur Woods discusses the challenges faced by underrepresented communities, such as the formerly incarcerated and people with disabilities, and the importance of inclusive hiring practices to drive meaningful change towards a more equitable workplace.
