In episode 99 (!!) of Embrace the Squiggle, Colleen and Kristine welcome Kristie Raymond to discuss her journey - that all started by trying a bunch of stuff out.

From launching Models Inc in 90's Boston with only a 1.5 years of professional experience, Kristie shares how her childhood dreams evolved through a diverse career path. On this journey she spotted a massive gap: where's the diversity in media?

Enter Humankind – Kristie's company pushing for inclusive casting that actually reflects the world we live in. Listen in for the real talk on breaking down barriers in media and why representation isn't just nice to have – it's necessary. Kristie discusses the challenges and successes in advocating for the inclusion of historically excluded groups, especially those with disabilities, in media. Tune in to hear about Kristie's inspiring squiggles and the impact of just trying stuff.
