MY DOMAINE / XIAOJIE LIU
We created and shared a concrete plan to make MyDomaine a more inclusive site focused on elevating a diverse array of voices. We continue to focus on evolving into a brand that truly helps everyone make their home a comfortable, stylish, but most importantly, safe place to live.
To hold ourselves accountable, we will share our progress and updates regularly. If you have any questions about our plan, suggestions for how we can improve it, or referrals for contributors to hire or creators to feature, please email us at contact@mydomaine.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
- Diversify contributor network. At MyDomaine, the majority of our content is written by contributing writers who are experts in the topic areas that they cover. We are committed to consistently working with BIPOC contributors.
- Diversify photo sources. Our articles are populated with imagery we source from a network of 100+ interior designers, bloggers, influencers, and professional photographers. We're committed to representing diversity of race, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, body type, and ability, throughout our site.
- Revisit our most popular articles with a critical lens. Dotdash’s official Anti-Bias Review Board has reviewed our most popular and widely read articles with a view for bias (intentional and unintentional). We continue to use the review board’s findings to inform our new stories moving forward.
- Normalize highlighting BIPOC creatives in new content. We will continue to focus on the design and entertaining stories you love. But every story we publish will be considered through the lens of inclusivity, with an emphasis on featuring the work of a diverse array of designers, makers, creatives, experts, and brands.
- Normalize highlighting BIPOC voices across social media. We know how impactful our voice is on social media. We’re committed to diversifying, in a meaningful way, on our social platforms and highlighting the voices of diverse creators.
Thank you to our readers for inspiring us to do more and holding us accountable to this pledge.
Sincerely,
