"When you have diversity, people see you for who you are and not just as a part of the minority."

In this episode our business consultant, Abbel Kisanji, addresses the topics of discrimination and diversity. Recruiting in construction and agricultural machinery, he's noticed a lack of black professionals. This is especially true in leadership roles. However, as a black man that talks to people in this space every day, he'd also never experienced racism or conscious discrimination first hand. To find out more about the lack of diversity in these industries, he spoke with Michael Miller, a black professional who has over 19 year’s experience in construction as an environmental engineer and who is now President at Sustainable Soilutions.  Abbel was also joined by Michael's friend, Edward Gonzalez, an Account Manager at Mellott Company.
