Data doesn’t lie is a myth. Data can be helpful to understand a view, a perspective. But it is a perspective, not the only perspective.

Yellow Milk, Yellow Snow, and the biases we hold
The narratives in our head matter. They shape our assumptions. They shape our view and experience of the world.

Trying to do address bias with a team of people who all look like you, have similar beliefs, and have had similar experiences won’t work. Diversity is key.
