Trinidad Hermida worked as the head of Diversity & Inclusion at Niantic, the creator of Pokemon Go. Trinidad is currently a Board member of Latinx in Gaming, and runs the Hermida Company, which advises companies on how to "Build Equity through Empathy." In this episode of Building the Metaverse, we cover the important topic of how to make the Metaverse accessible to all creators and participants, whoever they are. We discuss the role that new technologies like DAOs and Web3 may play in that, as well as practices that executives and hiring managers can utilize to create organizations that tap into the creative genius of people from all backgrounds.
