Empowering the Black Design Community with Donna Gilliam
Show Notes

Welcome to Season 4 of Couture & Construction! We are an uplifting podcast dedicated to the many different aspects of the luxury building industry.

We have the pleasure of starting this season off by highlighting the Black Design Community and sitting down with 3 phenomenal leaders. Each of these leaders share their thoughts on how the design world can better support the minority community. How do we engage, encourage, and support the next generation of BIPOC designers? How do we reshape design to foster a more diverse design community?

This week, our first leader is the incredible Donna Gilliam of Donna Gilliam Interiors.  Donna joins us  to discuss being a leader not just in the Black Design Community, but in the Design Community itself. She also shares the fun yet stressful journey of how she navigated being the lead Interior Designer on the Museum of African American Music!
