In conversation with Dramaine Irions

Earlier this year, we sat down with Dramaine Irions, Director of Contracts and Commercial Operations at IHI Terrasun Solutions to talk about African American Heritage Month that’s celebrated and honored every year. The conversation was insightful, but at the time we were only able to feature short clips on LinkedIn. In honor of the Juneteenth commemoration, we’re sharing a more expanded version of the interview.
