This week I’m joined by April Reign who is currently Senior Director of Marketing Fractured Atlas an organisation that empowers artists eliminating practical barriers to artistic expression to foster a more agile and resilient cultural ecosystem. April is the creator of many viral hashtags the most notable being #OscarsSoWhite which challenges the lack of representation of marginalised communities in Hollywood.In today’s episode, April and I cover what it means to go viral and some of the challenges that come with it, especially when you’re talking about race and equality. We help you figure out how to use your platform for change and ways you can have the conversations you want without risking your jobs or friendships.
