User Group Meeting of the Week: Data + Diversity Pride Event

The Data + Diversity event series provides a platform for community conversations surrounding the challenges and solutions to diversity in data. During the Data + Diversity June event, we celebrated the impact and data visualizations of the LGBTQ+ community, and learned how we can be better allies. This event was hosted by Tableau Equity Taskforce Member and Tableau Visionary, Chantilly Jaggernauth, who also took part in a short interview led by Tableau User Group Ambassador Brandi Beals. Then, Lawrence Durbin, a BI Analyst and DEI Advocate spoke on Tableau and the LGBTQ+ community. He covered important questions like: Are we building an inclusive culture for the LGBTQ+ community? Are we building visualizations with bias? Is our data excluding the LGBTQ+ community? And more. Brandi Beals covered some of her favorite data visualizations found on Tableau Public that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. To close out the event, Eric Balash shared details on a Back 2 Viz Basic community challenge using Pride data and how you can join in.
