This workshop was delivered with Karla Valeria Feijoo and Sevi Karakulak at Dutch Cloud Native Day 2025.

Privilege is not a binary concept—it’s multifaceted, contextual, and intersects with various aspects of identity and environment. Each of us holds privilege in some areas while lacking it in others. This talk explores how to recognize and understand these nuances of privilege, especially within today’s globally distributed teams. We will examine the role of systemic inequality and cultural bias in the workplace and provide practical strategies for supporting colleagues with less privilege. Through real-world scenarios, we’ll discuss fostering inclusivity, encouraging empathy, and contributing to a more equitable professional environment.
