“The beauty of diversity is that it allows us to learn. We either make our own tables or make sure there's room at the table.” ~ Hajj Flemings

 

In this episode of The Widest Net, Pam is joined by Hajj Flemings, a Detroit-based entrepreneur, who has made his mark combining brand design with the practicalities of technology to inspire inclusivity and profound change.
