In the last few years, diversity has become somewhat of a buzzword, and having a diverse group of people working together is seen as an advantage. With a diverse group of teams, you're more likely to have a wide spectrum of ideas, backgrounds, and skills that can help your organization develop more and quicker. But, it also avoids embedding biases in your marketing campaigns and product development.

- Why is it important to build a diverse team that reflects your product's user base
