I want more diversity in my field. I want to work with black/brown people, queer people, immigrants, and people of different mindsets from different backgrounds. I want my entire work community to be more inclusive. We can jumpstart this process through sharing our own stories and information with people who want to hear it. We can be better operators in a better industry by making this effort in bringing diverse perspectives and contributions to our workplace.
Madeleine is helping me (@madeleine) with the video and presentation.
Some suggestions for a video:
- What position do you currently hold? How did you come to be in this field
- Advantages of maritime (family, free time, “see the world”)
- Hitch length location, other time commitments, holidays, vacation
- Advice for someone looking to learn more, where to start
- Favor us with a fun sea story!
- Is there anything else you’d like to tell high school kids watching this video?
Some other pointers:
- Don’t have private company stuff in the shot with you; you may have to deal with your companies legal department.
- Upload your videos to Google Photos and share a link to the video to my gmail mrdrewk@gmail.com. There are Google Photo apps for both iPhone and Android.
I will involve you in the ongoing project so your contribution remains accurate. I will submit the final video and presentation-outline to you for approval.
