LAT Talks
...we live in a world where we’re affected by a social media where we are unable to completely and accurately ascertain people’s tone….think of Twitter like a car horn. Car horns don’t have degrees, ya know? - Trevor Noah
LONG ASS TABLE TALKS – LAT Talks for short – is an interview series featuring people who inspire us with different perspectives. It started out as an internal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program, but the eye-opening quality of the conversation made us realize the discussion was worth sharing.
In this debut episode, Expensify’s Joanie Wang and Puneet Lath interview Trevor Noah, award-winning host of The Daily Show. With his comically insightful point of view, Trevor discusses representation, cancel culture, and what it means to be “self made”.
Joanie Wang
"Our goal is to create an intentional space to discuss these issues in a way that is compelling to everyone. We realized that episode one and the accompanying discussion guide are resources that anyone can bring back to their small business or organization as part of their journey to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace."
Puneet Lath
"Talking about race and representation is scary, and many people are afraid of saying the wrong thing. We wanted to show that it can also be lighthearted, casual, and engaging. And when it is, you can bring more people together to participate in the conversation."
