Episode 6
Buzzing and a Bit Scared: Taking Our Book on Tour
The book is out next week, and the tour starts the same day. In this episode Leah and Jenny talk about how it feels to send AI for Equity out into the world, with stops in Manchester, London, Accra and San Francisco, plus an online launch anyone can join from wherever they are.
Leah is a little bit scared and very excited, and has never been to the US before. Jenny talks about the fear of being judged and why, if the book helps one person, it has done its job. They also get into why doing it together makes it easier, why the London launch means so much with friends, family and contributors in the room, and how holding the finished copy has settled the nerves.
In this episode:
- The tour stops and what each one means to them
- Excitement and fear, and how close they sit together
- Why launching as a pair makes it easier
- Why the online launch matters for access
- How it feels to finally hold the book
