Diversity and Inclusiveness

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2017)

I joined a group of 75 to 100 support staff as part of a company diversity and inclusiveness event. The movie was full of positive energy with a hint of racial prejudice. The writers emphasized drive, passion, exceptional or genius ability among the three women to help NASA accomplish its objective. From the D&I perspective, it occurs to me that the outcome for NASA could have turned out much differently or perhaps the orbit could have been delayed or not happened if Kevin Costner, the boss, had excluded them from the NASA launch preparation activities or allowed them to showcase their skills because they were black. There is also mild gender bias scenes.
