Having actually read the article, this is the least-patronizing version of anything that I could have imagined, given that name. It's a great effort, but a really bad name.
Usually, you see these things not as an individual effort, but some sort of corporatized outreach program, and then it is just awful. In the process of supposedly trying to celebrate diversity, it just only further serves to paint it as "The Other", the non-default.
But it's basically just an interview series that a few people are putting together, specifically to treat the subject normally, not continue to differentiate.
