I was fascinated by a compelling character embroiled in a controversial topic that told the story from a different point of view.
There is assuredly no more effectual method of clearing up one's own mind on any subject than by talking it over, so to speak, with men of real power and grasp, who have considered it from a totally different point of view.
Exposure to fields like design to technology and from art to psychology gave me a quite nice/interesting viewpoint to the world.
I wanted a more female point of view.
Too often a story is examined through biased eyes, without a sensitivity for everyone who forged it. It's seen from the point of view of the great white savior, and rarely is the perspective of the slave a part.
Having a female point of view in the room - when you get into a discussion about behavior - who would say what and how they would interact with one another. In certain situations, women are going to have a different opinion on that than men. It made for a really balanced conversation in the room.
It's a good addition to get a female perspective.
Just cause you don't agree with a man, 'cause you're black, don't mean you gotta fight, argue. You just have a different perspective.
Whether that's in communications or marketing or strategy, you need people to come in with a fresh perspective.
