"The Other Side" podcast host, Scot Kirk, and Dr. Terrance Dean speak with Densil Porteous, executive director of Stonewall Columbus and CEO of the venture capital fund Pride Fund 1. Porteous has written an opinion column in The Dispatch on the lack of diversity in business leadership.

As a Black queer man in the business world, Porteous says he needs to be visible so that others like him can see that success in a corporate environment is possible. But being present in the room is not enough, Porteous said. Those in positions of power also have a responsibility to speak up when they see a lack of diversity and inclusion in the businesses and organizations they manage.
