How FAR Can You Go?

What a privilege it was talking to Junie and sharing in her deliberate quest of understanding people and culture that has led her to where she is today. Junie has always believed that if you understand the systems in which you live in and how they dictate what you’ll benefit from or miss out on, then you can design and imagine endless solutions to your wildest dreams. And, wild dreams she has lived, to say the least: ranked in the top 50 employees in banking in Canada, liaised with public relations and media in India to raise awareness for mining workers’ rights and micro-businesses led by women in India, taught English to speakers of other languages in México and China, and co-designed health programs in remote and rural communities in the Northern Territory (Australia). Listen in as we talk about her Ironman quests, and how now, she has broken into the tech industry (as a non-tech) by tapping into her entrepreneurial spirit to start seeing better representation in product design. Junie has a wild goal to remove biases in the design of products and technology and she shares her personal beliefs about 'fear' and 'daring to try'. Remember to keep moving forward when yiu think you're not!
