Hear Derek share about: • His unlikely journey as an African American male in tech • How virtual reality can disrupt implicit bias and prejudice • How the non-violent usage of gaming echoes the non-violent protests of MLK Jr  Each week on the Praise Hands Podcast, join Robby Valderrama and learn from creative, cross-cultural solutionists at the American intersection of church, race, music, and economics.
