Earlier today, Dani Deahl shared on Reddit her TED Talk at the Parker school. In the talk, Dani reveals the falsities and speed-bumps regarding women producing electronic dance music. She has been a figurehead of the movement to take down the barriers of inequality. Dani discusses her own personal experiences while also giving insight into social issues as well. I hate to call myself ignorant, but it wasn’t until I read her Reddit thread asking for input on the situation prior to the talk where I realized this is an actual issue. This is a fantastic talk and you should take the time to watch what she has to say!
There were some audio issues, but you’ll quickly pass that. Dani had this to say about it:
Also, so many apologies on the sound quality – we had done a sound check earlier and everything was fine, then there were problems during the actual talk. Because it was live streamed, we couldn’t stop to fix the problem 🙁
