The Four Percent Amplified is a podcast dedicated to elevating the voices, stories, and experiences of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals and underrepresented groups within the design world and related fields like psychology, tech, education, and business.

We aim to create a platform where marginalized communities can share their perspectives, educational journeys, challenging experiences, and inspirations for change, believing that diversity, community, and representation matter.

This podcast envisions a world where cultural voices are valued and respected, regardless of background, with diversity celebrated, community uplifted, and equal opportunities for all.

what are our goals for the four percent?
