Please forgive an old Black man for being angry. I've only seen hundreds of Black people come into advertising over the years, only for many to be chewed up and spit out, and then go on to successful careers on the client side.
We do not have a pipeline problem.
I am thankful for all the initiatives trying to address advertising's diversity issues.
However, it is so very frustrating that we have so few programs trying to fix White people in leadership/management roles at the agencies - their thinking is the real issue.
Beloved adv. HR/recruiters, I'm sorry.
You don't deserve the smoke for the lack of diversity at agencies. It's a Black people's problem. Our lack of knowledge prevents adv. from being more diverse.
If only someone would educate us about the advertising careers. (Sarcasm)
Sup, cis woman here ๐
Can't believe we still need to say this in 2021, almost 2022, for the ignorant people in the back...
Trans women are welcome in any women space because they are women too. Their lives matter. Their identities are valid.
