From IT professionals to actors, peoples' accents had unlikely effects on the public's perception of them. Lisa Xing and a colleague collaborated on a series of stories that started a national conversation.
​The series was nominated for the 2019 RTDNA's Diversity – Adrienne Clarkson Award.

Part 3: 'Accent is an irrelevant factor' if you can do the job, but it can pose a challenge during the job hunt
Part 4: Why some people decide to chip away at their accent
